Feedlot · Health

Set up each medicine once, from its label, and every dose follows it.

At the crush each animal’s dose is worked out from its weight and rounded up to your gun. The same dose sets the day it clears for slaughter and the day it clears for export, and comes off its batch in the shed.

From the health records of a 10,000-head feedlot

On one run at the crush, 74 head were given 57 different doses of the same pour-on, each worked out from the animal’s own weight.

One run on Friday 2 October 2026, at the label’s 0.05 mL per kg.

Dosing

Dose each animal for its own weight, by weight band, or with one setting for the run. The way is set when the run is planned, and any animal’s dose can still change at the crush.

  • Per-kilogram doses round up to the gun’s step. Never down, so no animal gets less than the label asks.

  • Each dose comes from the weight just taken. The sum stays on the screen.

  • Two products in one save. Each keeps its own batch and dates. At one 10,000-head feedlot, nearly half of all saves give two or more.

  • Change one animal’s dose at the crush. A typed dose replaces the sum, and the sheet says it’s off the plan.

  • Skip a product for one animal. Nothing comes off stock, and no charge or withholding is written.

  • A fixed dose goes in as the label states it. A 2 mL vaccine is 2 mL on every animal.

When it doesn’t go cleanly

The shed, the label and the scale don’t always agree. Here is what PaddockPath does when they don’t.

  • An animal on withholding is dosed again. The later date stands. A new dose never shortens a window.

  • A product has no withholding period written. It’s never read as Nil. The run’s plan says to check the label.

  • A batch has expired. The run’s plan offers in-date stock first. An expired batch can still be picked, marked with its date.

  • The shelf count says a batch is empty. The run still goes ahead, and the batch asks for a count.

  • The bottle in your hand isn’t on file. Enter its batch and expiry from the carton, at the crush.

  • An animal has no weight today. Its dose comes from today’s forecast or its last weight, and says which.

PaddockPath handles 9 more like these.

  • The same product twice in a day
  • An HGP for an animal held HGP free
  • A triangle ear punch seen at the crush
  • A withholding period a vet prescribed
  • A period set after doses were given
  • A dose recorded in error
  • Treatment history imported twice
  • A mob of more than 1,000 head
  • An animal not yet inducted

The medicine shed

Count the shed in doses, and know where every batch went. Each dose comes off its batch as it’s given, and a recall is one list.

  1. 01 Counted in doses

    96 doses

    What’s on hand, from what’s actually drawn a head. Each dose comes off as it’s given.

  2. 02 Expiry

    143 days

    Until A2417 expires. Any batch inside 90 days is called out.

  1. 03 A recall is this list

    6,556 head

    Every animal dosed from the batch, when, who gave it and the pen it’s in now, ready to export. One drench batch at a 10,000-head feedlot traced to every head it went into.

In the pens

Treat a sick animal, or record a death, from the phone at the pen. With or without signal. The office confirms each death against a checklist, and the record keeps the animal as it was that day.

Hot days

HLI and AHLU, hour by hour, for the week ahead. Worked as MLA’s heat load calculator works them. It comes with PaddockPath at the same per-head price, with or without a weather station of your own.

HLI
Heat load index. Every hour, from temperature, humidity, sun and wind.
AHLU
Accumulated heat load units. What builds up above your threshold, and sheds below 77.
84
Your threshold. From your heat load risk assessment, or 86 with none.

Each day is recorded from your own station where you have one, and the record answers NFAS 3.6.1 and 3.6.5 on its own.

Every dose also answers the auditor’s treatment items, as it’s recorded. NFAS & audit

FAQ

Questions livestock managers ask.

Can we dose to the label’s weight table?

Yes. Plan the run by weight band and each animal is dosed to the top of its band, the way a label’s dose table reads. Or dose each one from its own weight, rounded up to your gun’s step.

What if a product’s withholding period isn’t on file?

It is never read as Nil. The run’s plan says so before anyone doses, and the product asks for its answer: Nil, the label’s period, or a period a vet prescribed, with the prescription named.

How do we answer a recall?

Open the batch. It lists every animal dosed from it, when and by whom, and the pen each one is in now.

Can we treat a whole mob from the office?

Yes, up to 1,000 head in one save, and every head gets the dose or none does. Bigger groups go through the import.

Do owners see their cattle’s treatments?

Yes, on the link you share for their mob: the head on withholding and until when, HGP status, and every treatment given.
