Herd details: Before you can enter details of any animals you must register the herd(s). See InterPremium Quick Start Guide. Details of the locations (yards, grazing areas etc) , management groups (lots and groups), holding number and other herd-specific parameters are recorded via the herd records.
Animal details: An individual record is created for each animal (see InterPremium Quick Start Guide).Once animal records exist, you maintain the data by recording events as they occur. This can include fertility events, movements (including sale), use of medicines etc. Data can be keyed in animal by animal or in bulk for parameters like milk and weight recordings.
Reference lists: InterPremium makes use of a range of lists for parameters such as origins of animals, markets, sources of drugs/supplies, sires that are used but never live in the herd, people who administer drugs/AI etc. This type of data is always recorded in one of a range of reference lists including:
Origins and destinations of animals
Suppliers of drugs, supplies
Operators (inseminators, individuals giving drugs etc)
