How to log health treatments on DairyLogs

Log dairy treatments in DairyLogs with medicine, cost, and milk/meat withdrawal so tank milk stays protected.

Health → Records is where treatments (and related health events) land with withdrawal date and cost. Always set milk and meat withdrawal when the product requires it so parlor staff know which milk to divert.

Before you start

Add medicines to Health → Medicines so treatments can consume stock.
Confirm the product label withdrawal with your veterinarian.

Steps

Open Health records: Go to Health → Records (/dashboard/health/records) or start from Health overview quick actions.
Log the treatment: Select the animal, diagnosis/notes, medicine from the store, dose, and cost. Enable withdrawal and enter withdrawal milk days and meat days from the label.
Protect the tank: After saving, divert milk until withdrawal ends. Confirm the record shows the withdrawal date, and mark discarded milk under Milk if that session entered discarded litres.

Tips

Never leave withdrawal blank for antibiotics—tank risk is the failure mode.
Linking a medicine SKU keeps stock WAC and expiry honest.
