InterHerd will manage all the registration of supplies (including medicines and semen), their use by individual animals, stock control and the generation of reports on supply use.
Registering supplies: All supplies are registered in InterHerd on purchase/delivery to the farm via Supplies, stock level and history. Registration details can include quantity, cost, batch numbers, expiry dates and supplier.
Recording use of supplies:
By individual animals: Once supplies are registered, their use by an animal is recorded either via the Parity data and events page of the individual animal record or the Event pad.
At the herd level: The use of supplies that cannot be allocated to a specific animal (disinfectants, udder cream etc) is recorded for the herd or management group in the Herd supplies form.
Re-order supplies: As the use of supplies is recorded, the current stock level is automatically maintained. Any supply falling below a specified level will be automatically added to the Re-order supplies form.
Reports relating to medicine/supply use:
Purchase of medicines provides a detailed report of all purchased supplies for a specified period of time.
Medicines register provides details of the use of any medicine (or supply) for a specified period of time.
