Schedule vet check event for problem animals

The Schedule Vet Check form should be run intermittently to identify animals with extraordinary or persistent fertility or production problems.

The form is divided in to two broad sections, fertility and event record criteria. To inactivate an entire section check the appropriate . The dropdown box to the right of each criterion specifies the event that will be scheduled in the record of any animal satisfying that criterion. The description of the criteria is included as a remark/comment on the vet list so it is common to have the same code for all possible criteria. In the example below the CHECK event is scheduled for all possible criteria.

The range of criteria are self-explanatory. Blanking the contents of a text box results in that the criterion being ignored.

Clicking the OK button searches the animal records in the data file and adds the event type in the drop down box (CHECK), to the record of any animal that satisfies the criteria in the form. These scheduled events will then appear in the Vet List with the explanation of the criterion(a) responsible detailed in the comment/remarks column of the grid.

Note:  
  • Breeding females with no event in last xxx days is a good method for identifying animal records that should have closed. For example, if an animal was sold but the sale was accidentally not recorded, this criterion would schedule a check event alerting the user to the error.
  • Save as default: saves the current layout of events and their criteria for future use.
  • Events created in this way can be deleted via the button on the Vet List form.
