Products in Live Entry

Completing a treatment using products in Live Entry.

Treatments:

  • Treatments are user-defined actions that you can carry out on a single animal or a group of animals.
  • Treatments are operations carried out on animals where a specific product is used (e.g. drenching, vaccinating).

Descriptions of the treatment types must be setup in Stockbook before they can be used in Live Entry

In Stockbook, you define your own treatment names for animal treatments.

We would suggest that a general description rather than a treatment method would be more logical. e.g. Internal Parasites rather than Drench; or External Parasites rather than Pour-on.

  • Click on Setup > Treatments > Animal menu option
  • A list of currently defined treatments will be displayed

To Add a new treatment:

  • Click on the Add button
  • Enter a treatment Description
  • Click OK to save



Products:

Products for use in animal treatments can be entered against the appropriate treatment events.
Product information must be setup prior to using Live Entry.

To add a new Product:

  • Click on the Products > Setup menu option
  • Click on the Add button
  • Fill in details
For Example:

In the Notes section, a description of the product is available by Googling the product name and copying and pasting to this section, if required. 

Most information about a product is available via Google, e.g. dosage, withholding period.

You can record details of all products brought onto your farm. This must be kept if you are participating in a QA program.

Product Purchases:

  • Click on the  Products  >  Product Purchases  menu option
  • A list of Product Purchases will appear
  • Click on the  Add  button
  • Fill in all Product Purchase information
  • Click  OK  button to save
For Example:  

When using treatments with products in Live Entry, the Qty (quantity), Batch No. (number) and Comment you enter will save for the next animal.
To make sure this works you will need to check that you don't have the option to discard the product information turned on.

To Check Discard is not an Option in Live Entry:

  • Click on Setup > Session Defaults menu option

  1. Make sure you are in the  General  tab
  2. Make sure the box next to Don't hold the last entered data for treatments/ products  is  NOT  ticked
  3. Click  OK  button to save

 If you are not using the treatment/s for each animal, you are able to turn the treatments off after each use.

To do this in Live Entry:
  • Click on  Setup  >  Session Defaults  menu option

 

  • Make sure you are In the  General  tab
  • Tick the  Force treatments/products to be inactive by default  check box
  • Click  OK  button to save


The treatments data fields will now be greyed out/ inactive unless you right click on them



For this example, we are weighing and treating all animals with two different products in Live Entry
  • Click on  Setup  >  Session Defaults  menu option
  • Click on the  General  tab

  • Your choices will be listed in the  Selected Options  window. ( DO NOT TICK ANY OF THE BOXES IN THE SELECTED OPTIONS WINDOW.)
  • Click on the  Save Template  button
  • Enter your template name
  • Click  OK  to save
  • Click  OK  to exit the Add/Edit Live Data Entry Template window
