    British beef suckler farmers will be able to share real-time cattle data with their vet while in the field thanks to a new mobile app.

    Created by the Veterinary Services team at SRUC, the Herd Health Planning app enables farmers to collect and record data as events occur – and immediately share this with their vet..

    The app – which is free for Scottish farmers registered to the Animal Health Planning System (SAHPS) and available to others for a small subscription – includes an e-medicine book which complies with farm assurances and other statutory requirements.

    It is also connected to the British Cattle Movement Service’s tracing system (BCMS), meaning cattle records such as births, deaths and movements, can be updated instantly. 

    No internet is required to record events, with all data stored locally on the app and sent to both BCMS and SAHPS systems as soon as Wi-Fi and/or mobile data become available.

    The Scottish Government-funded app, which is now downloadable for Android and Apple devices, allows farmers to:

    Provide early communication of herd health to their vet

    Download all cattle currently on the holding through BCMS

    Record bulls in/out dates 

    Record movements, births, deaths and upload to BCMS

    Record disease incidents and production data

    Record animal treatments, creating the e-medicine book

    Record and save data off-line

    Enter information once and use it multiple times

    Health Planning Development Manager Dr Foteini Manolaraki said: “We recognise that time is a precious commodity for today’s farmers. Rather than taking notes while out in the field or in the shed and then copying them into the computer, this new app allows them to share their cattle data with their vet while on the move. This information is then shared multiple times via BCMS and SAHPS software, which could allow earlier vet intervention if necessary.”
