How to track milk withdrawal on DairyLogs

Milk withdrawal (withhold) starts when you log a treatment that requires it. Enter withdrawal milk days from the product label so Health → Records shows the withhold end date and milking staff can keep that milk out of the tank.

Before you start

• Confirm milk withdrawal days on the medicine label with your veterinarian.
• Prefer issuing from Health → Medicines so the product and withdrawal stay linked.

Steps

1. Open Health records: Go to Health → Records (/dashboard/health/records) to log or review treatments that may require milk withhold.
2. Set milk withdrawal on the treatment: When logging the treatment, enable requires withdrawal and enter withdrawal milk days (and meat days if needed). Save so the record stores the milk withhold until date.
3. Protect tank milk: Divert milk from that animal until the withhold date passes. Mark discarded litres under Milk when those sessions should not enter sales, and re-check Health records or the animal Health tab before returning milk to the tank.

Tips

• Copy label days every time—do not reuse yesterday’s antibiotic memory.
• Pair withhold with Milk discarded litres so production and food safety both stay honest.
