# Keep herd records that drive decisions

> Individual identification, health/treatment logs, and breeding performance data captured at the chute.

**Track:** 🌾 Agriculture & AgTech · **Domain:** Livestock Systems · **Level:** foundation · **~25 min**

**Who this is for:** Farm Managers, Agronomists, AgTech Builders, Supply Sustainability Teams

## When to Use This Skill

Individual identification, health/treatment logs, and breeding performance data captured at the chute.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Identify every animal individually from day one; group records hide problems
2. Record treatments at administration: animal, drug, dose, withdrawal date
3. Withdrawal dates block sale automatically — flag before market day
4. Track breeding performance per dam: conception, intervals, losses
5. Reconcile physical head-counts against system monthly
6. Review trends per management group, not herd-average fairy tales

## Common Pitfalls

- Paper lot-books transcribed never
- Withdrawal violations discovered by processor residue tests
