Recording treatments

Step-by-step documentation of treatments — individually or as a group treatment. TAMV-compliant and inspection-ready.

Last updated · February 19, 2026· 1 min read

Overview

Every medical treatment of your animals must be documented in accordance with TAMV Art. 28. Herdy makes it simple: you fill in a form, and Herdy creates a complete, legally compliant entry including automatically calculated withdrawal periods.

Form for recording a new treatment

Recording a single treatment

How to document a treatment for one animal:

  1. Go to Health > Treatments
  2. Tap New treatment
  3. Fill in the following fields:

Required fields

  • Animal identification — Select the affected animal from your herd. You can search by ear tag or name.
  • Date of first application — When was the treatment started?
  • Date of last application — If the treatment spans multiple days, enter the last day here. For a one-time treatment, leave this field empty or set it to the same date.
  • Diagnosis / indication — What is the reason for the treatment? For example: foot rot, parasite infestation, diarrhoea, pneumonia.
  • Medication — Select a medication from your inventory. If the medication has not yet been added, you can add it directly.
  • Quantity and unit — How much was administered? The unit (ml, g, tablets, etc.) is taken from the medication.

Withdrawal periods

  • Withdrawal period meat (days) — Automatically taken from the medication. You can adjust the value if needed.
  • Withdrawal period milk (days) — Automatically taken from the medication.
  • Clearance dates — Herdy automatically calculates when meat and milk may be used again. The calculation is based on the date of last application plus the respective withdrawal period days.

Additional fields

  • Veterinarian — Which veterinarian prescribed the treatment?
  • Notes — Free text field for additional information, e.g. dosage instructions or progress observations.
  1. Tap Save

Tip: The withdrawal periods are automatically taken from the selected medication. Check the values briefly anyway if your veterinarian has recommended different periods.

Group treatment (batch)

If you are treating several animals at once — for example during a deworming or vaccination of the whole herd — use the group treatment:

  1. Go to Health > Treatments > New treatment
  2. Select Group treatment
  3. Select the animals to be treated:
    • Select individual animals, or
    • Select an existing group (e.g. "Ewes 2025")
  4. Fill in the treatment data once (diagnosis, medication, quantity, etc.)
  5. Tap Save

Herdy creates a complete, TAMV-compliant entry for each selected animal. This gives every animal its own individual documentation, even if the treatment was carried out collectively.

Group treatment is particularly suitable for:

  • Deworming of the entire herd or individual groups
  • Vaccinations (e.g. bluetongue disease, foot rot)
  • Routine treatments such as ectoparasite treatment

Viewing and filtering treatments

The treatment list shows all recorded treatments. Use the filter function to search for specific time periods:

  • Last year — All treatments from the previous year
  • This year — All treatments since 1 January
  • Last 6 months — The last six months
  • All — All treatments without time restriction

Repeating a treatment

Do you need to carry out the same treatment again? Use the Repeat treatment function:

  1. Open an existing treatment
  2. Tap Repeat treatment
  3. Herdy carries over all data (medication, quantity, diagnosis) and sets the date to today
  4. Adjust individual fields if needed
  5. Tap Save

This saves time with recurring treatments such as regular dewormings.

Deleting a treatment

If you have accidentally created an entry:

  1. Open the affected treatment
  2. Tap Delete
  3. Confirm the deletion in the dialog

Tip: Deleted treatments cannot be restored. Before deleting, check whether it is actually an erroneous entry.

Export: the official treatment journal

The export produces the FSVO standard form "Treatment journal" (BLV-Norm-Formular) — a separate sheet set per species, treatments and vaccinations together, with all mandatory columns under TAMV Art. 28. The standard form is recognised for TAMV, QS Milch, QM-Schweizer Fleisch, IP-SUISSE, TerraSuisse, Coop Naturafarm, Mutterkuh Schweiz, and Agri Natura.

How to export

  1. Go to Health > Treatment journal and tap Export
  2. Choose the time period (this year, last year, last 6 months, all, or custom) and optionally a group
  3. Tap Standard form as PDF — or Journal as CSV for further processing in Excel

The header block with year, TVD number, name and address of the farm, and sheet count appears on every page — exactly as the inspection expects. Cancelled and replaced treatments do not appear in the export; castrations and hoof trimming have their own lists under Further exports, because they do not belong in the treatment journal.

Prerequisite: The farm address must be maintained in the settings — it fills the header block "Name and address of the farm".

Organic journal

On organic farms the export is called Organic journal as PDF and additionally contains the columns Antibiotics, Critical antibiotics, and Antibiogram, as well as the doubled withdrawal periods. If the antibiotic classification is missing for medications used, Herdy points this out before the export.

Tip: Export your treatment journal regularly as a PDF and save it. Inspections come unannounced — this way you are ready at any time.
