Missing Product

You can add a product by selecting <new> on the drop down product list. however it is easier to enter the product as a delivery then use it. Be carefule to ensure the product is approved for sheep.

Area Treated

The area treated is optional and only important if you want to know exactly what part of the animal was treated, for example recording which foot was treated (mainly dairy cows).

Note on Dates

The treatment date has a start and finish date in order to administer a course of treatment in one entry. i.e treating the same animal for 5 days. Most treatments are a single dose on one day so the start and end date are the same. The withdrawal dates being calculated based on the product withdraw and the end date.

If you are treating lambs with a single treatment of the same product over a period of a week. I.e you do one lot on monday, another on tuesday etc. Then you can crate one record for all based on the last day of treatment.
