If an animal dies or leaves the herd then an appropriate exit event (eg. Died / Sale) should be recorded for that animal via the Event Pad or Parity data and events page of the Individual Animal Record. The exit date of that animal will then appear in the "Animals Included in original claim" grid. A warning message that a claimed animal has left the herd will also be displayed:
The exited animal should now either be withdrawn or replaced:
If you want to withdraw the animal in the claim check the Withdrawn column
. Your MAFF Regional Service Centre
should be notified within 10 working days of an animal
being withdrawn from the original claim.
To replace the animal that has left the herd select the a replacement from the animal IDs offered as a dropdown box in the "Replaced by Management ID" column (this is only available in animals with an exit date). On selecting a replacement animal its details are displayed in the lower Replacements for animals in original claim grid:
Take care that the replacement animal does not put the heifer % above the limit allowed. The Replacement cattle notification pro-forma still needs to be completed and sent to your MAFF Regional Service Centre within 10 working days of an animal being withdrawn from the original claim.
