Vet list

The Vet List is designed to identify animals requiring attention during a veterinary visit and to produce concise lists for the vet that summarise the history of the animal presented.

Visit date: The date when the vet is planned to visit the herd.
Vet events scheduled until: Defines up to which date beyond the visit date that scheduled events should appear on the list (the date offered by default is three days later than the visit date).
Owner events more than xxx days overdue: Ensures that animals with any "farmer" event (see Event definitions) that is more than the specified days overdue also appears.
Show pregnancy diagnoses from xxx days after service: is relevant in herds recording services as it will list animals past the specified number of days, irrespective of the presence of a scheduled PD event.
Expect cows with no fertility events:
Leaving this item unchecked is essential for tight fertility control. It ensures that every breeding female record is examined to ensure that it contains at least one scheduled fertility event (unless the animal record contains a scheduled cull event). See How do I ensure tight fertility management of breeding females?  Note that missing scheduled events are common in imported data and occasionally users may accidentally delete a scheduled event. This facility will identify these animals and ensure it is not "lost" from those appearing in action lists. Any animal with missing scheduled fertility events is brought to your attention as the list is prepared via the Missing scheduled event check form.
Use short event list: Determines the level of detail of events that are displayed in the lower grid for the current animal in the top grid. Short event list limits the list to the events specified in Event definitions.

- For generating/removing scheduled check events in records of animals with "out of the ordinary" fertility or production problems. See Schedule Vet Check form.

Click to construct the vet list grid.

The vet list contains two grids. The first grid details each animal included in the vet list along with details of its age and fertility status. The lower grid displays details of the events relating to the animal currently selected in the upper grid. So in the example above the events in the lower grid refer to the animal currently selected in the top grid, ANNA. The level of detail in the lower grid depends on whether the short list is requested (see above).
