Red Tractor - Are You Keeping Adequate Records?
Medicine Administration records should include:
- Identity of medicine
- Quantity of medicine administered
- Batch number or bottle number linked back to purchase records
- Identification of animal(s) to which administered
- Number of animals treated
- Date of administration
- Date treatment finished
- Length of withdrawal period for meat and milk
- Date when animal(s)/milk becomes fit for human consumption
- Name of person administering medicine
- Reason for treatment
Medicine records must provide annual collation of total antibiotics (collated by product name) used for the unit – this can be completed by the vet from prescription data or by the farmer from medicine records.
