Using the MINDA app, you can record when an animal has received health treatments. When recording a Health treatment, you'll need to know:

  • Animal ID

  • Quarters (if applicable)

  • Diagnosis

  • Treatment/dosage rate/withholding information etc

  • Administered by (if applicable)


How do I record a Health Event?

Select Health from the dashboard and then select Create health record. Next go through the steps on screen.

Step 1. Choose your animal(s)

Add the animals you're recording a Health Record for. If the animals are in a specific Group, you can tap Add from group otherwise, you can search for the animal if you know their ID.

Tip: If you have a wand connected to your MINDA app, you can scan the animals EID to add it.

Note: When recording a Health Record, you have the option to select quarters. If you enable Quarters, you'll need to select the affected quarters when adding each animal.

Step 2. Select the diagnosis

Choose a diagnosis. Any common treatments will show at the top otherwise scroll through the list or use the search bar.

Step 3. Select the treatment given

Choose the treatment. Any recently used products will show at the top otherwise scroll through the list or use the search bar.

Step 4. Add dosage information

Here you'll need to add details about the dosage such as:

  • Amount per dose

  • Number of doses

  • Unit i.e. tube, ml, gram etc

  • Frequency

  • Interval

  • Withholding

Step 5. Treatment given by

If you'd like to add details on who administered the treatment, you can do this below otherwise tap Skip.

Step 6. Review and finish

Review the details you've entered. There's a few extra things you can do on this screen including:

  • Delete the Health Event

  • Add another treatment

  • Save common treatment

Similar to other Events, if you need to edit anything, tap on any of the columns or go back by tapping on the top left otherwise tap Finish.

The Event should now show in the Holding Pen where you can approve it.


What is a Common Treatment?

If there are animal health treatments that you administer often, you can save their details as a Common Treatment. This means that you can save certain information such as:

  • Diagnosis

  • Treatment

  • Dosage

  • Frequency

  • Withholding

and this will populate automatically any time you select this Common Treatment.


How to save a Common Treatment

Select the Save common treatment option in the Review and finish screen.

On the next screen, name your Common Treatment and check that that details are correct.

When you next record an animal health treatment, you will see the Common Treatment you saved.

Note: Common Treatments cannot be shared with other devices.
