IntegraFarmA decision-support system for animal health
From parametric disease records to per-animal cost: monitor, standardize and reduce health-driven losses. IntegraFarm's health module turns every treatment into measurable, analyzable data.
Everything your health team needs
Treatment Manager
Disease records are kept as parametric data, so you can search, filter, group and apply logical rules across health reports. Diseases are also tracked as processes — recurring or unresolved cases are monitored by cost and impact.
Health Work Orders
Protocols are assigned as work orders, individually or by protocol. The field team views and applies them from handheld terminals, confirming manually or by reading the ear tag — for standardization, speed and comparable performance.
Dosing Management
The system computes a dose from the animal's latest (or estimated) weight and drug records, and advises the applicator, helping prevent waste and overdosing. The suggested dose is advisory only; the final decision and responsibility rest with the veterinarian.
Public Health & Residue Withdrawal
Drug residue withdrawal periods are monitored helping reduce the risk of premature slaughter or milking — supporting both public health and compliance. Withdrawal periods follow the licensed product leaflet and are tracked separately for meat and milk.
Drug Costs (HCOG)
Field applications are entered by reading the ear tag (RFID); the amount is deducted from the staff's assigned stock and the cost is charged to the individual animal — so you track real, not distributed, costs (HCOG).
Drug Stock Management
Drug and consumable stock is tracked by warehouse and team; issues go directly to teams and are reduced by application or waste. Optional barcode application improves accuracy and traceability.
Health Team Management
Applications and performance of health teams are tracked in real time; you can see which pen a team last worked in and compare team performance from reports.
Vaccination & Prevention
Based on intake type (weight, age, breed), the system suggests or assigns vaccinations and preventive procedures at the right time — so routine work is never missed.
Cattle Crush Procedures
Procedures performed at the cattle crush are applied automatically via protocols — while the animal's performance and recent work orders are reviewed, under veterinary supervision, for the right decision on the spot.
Know exactly which disease costs what
Health costs are reflected by lot, group, farm, pen and animal; disease cost analysis goes down to sub-processes. Incidence rate and cost comparisons across all diseases support managerial decisions.
- A common disease may cost little; a rare one may cost a lot — see the difference
- Mortality and morbidity tracked and costed individually
- Standardized procedures lower cost and raise speed
Health Management sub-modules
Health teams and treatment protocols are defined and assigned as work orders; orders reach handhelds and, when an animal's RFID tag is read, the team is told exactly what to do. Open each module for the detail.
A decision-support module for animal health.
Parametric data: Disease records are kept with parametric data, so reports can be searched, filtered, grouped and logically split.
Processes: Diseases are also followed as processes: recurring or unresolved cases are tracked separately by disease and treatment process for their cost and effect.
Decision support: Health-performance reports show disease effects analytically, helping organize medical practice and prevent unnecessary economic loss.
Work orders: Protocols predefined per disease are assigned to animals as work orders, so operations are tracked and applied to a standard. Orders can be protocol-based or individual.
Mobile operations: The health team views the animals to be treated per pen on handhelds and applies the operation, confirming manually or by reading the ear tag per authorization.
Reporting: Applications can be viewed per animal, pen or farm; work orders bring standardization, speed and easy performance comparison, easing management and cutting cost.
Dosing: The system sets a dose automatically from the animal's last or estimated weight and the application amounts in the drug records, and tells the applicator. This prevents unnecessary drug loss and overdosing.
The dose is advisory and can be changed by the veterinarian, then reflected in work orders or routine applications.
Drug effects: By watching the withdrawal times of drugs applied to animals, the public-health module prevents wrong slaughter or milking.
Warning system: Warnings entered into the system also ensure that any operation which could affect public health is avoided while handling the animal.
RFID-based entry: A mobile module that records field drug applications and treatments by reading the animal's ear tag; every application is recorded.
Staff stock: The applied amount is deducted from the stock assigned to the staff member.
Costing: The application cost is posted to the individual animal, so medical costs are tracked per animal as real cost, not distributed averages.
Drug and consumable stocks are tracked by warehouse and team, with instant visibility of how much of each drug each team holds. Drugs leave warehouses straight to teams, and team stocks fall by application or waste.
Team stocks and spending by application are reported instantly. If desired, applications can be barcode-based for full accuracy.
Performance: The applications and performance of health teams are tracked instantly, and team performance is followed through reports.
Live tracking: You can also see from the system which pen each team last worked in.
Costs from health applications are reflected in reports by lot, group, farm, pen and animal, and cost analysis can go down to a disease's sub-processes.
Disease incidence and cost comparisons across all observed diseases provide a major aid to the manager's decision-support system.
Type-specific management: By the animals' intake types (intake weight, age, breed, etc.), the system shows vaccinations and other preventive applications as a suggestion list at set times, or assigns them as work orders, against criteria predefined in the system.
This way routine operations are not missed and losses from missed operations are prevented.
Automatic operations: In cattle-crush applications, operations applied to animals can be posted automatically through protocols, avoiding separate entry per animal and saving time.
Decision support: During these applications, the animal's performance and past medical records are reviewed and recent work orders displayed, so the right operations can be carried out on the spot.
