One farm, all your species, one login.
Most Swiss farms keep more than one species — suckler cows and sheep, goats and rearing cattle. Herdy brings them together: one Agate account, one treatment journal, one set of reports. Instead of three programs you operate one.
No credit card.
TVD reports without the detour via agate.ch
Birth, arrival, departure, death and slaughter go to the Tierverkehrsdatenbank over the official interface — wherever the TVD interface allows it. The confirmation number comes back, time-stamped, in the animal's record. Herdy watches the deadlines: 30 days for a birth, 3 working days for movements.
Keep a treatment journal to TAMV
Record a treatment, have the withdrawal period calculated separately for meat and milk, keep your medicine stock with batch and expiry date. The journal under TAMV Art. 28 and the stock journal under Art. 26 print as a PDF. An animal under a withdrawal period cannot be reported as a departure by mistake.
Exercise log for RAUS and BTS
Record exercise — «same as yesterday» in one tap. A bar shows where you stand in the contribution year while there is still time to change it. RAUS, BTS and the grazing contribution have different requirements; Herdy keeps them apart.
Record lambing and breeding
Mating, pregnancy, lambing, ewe-to-lamb assignment. The lambing becomes the birth report to the TVD. The pedigree runs across generations; weights and daily gains show which lines pay off.
Sömmerung as a collective report
Alpauftrieb and Alpabzug in four steps: choose the group, choose the alp, confirm, process. The departure and arrival reports go to the TVD as a collective report; the Begleitdokument including the veterinary declaration comes out as a PDF.
Herd register at the push of a button
The animal register the inspector asks for is built from the entries you make anyway. Arrivals, departures, births and deaths in chronological order, with ear tag number — as a PDF, before the appointment is set.
For every species on your farm
Species-specific modules with a shared treatment journal and a single TVD login.
Sheep
Summer pasturing, alpine grazing, breed-specific weight benchmarks, ewes and lambs grouped together.
Software for sheep farmersGoats
Dairy and meat goats, buck records, kid rearing, and breed-specific breeding data.
Software for goat farmersCattle
Suckler cows, rearing, and beef cattle. Dual ear tags, calf birth notifications, and TVD sync for bovines.
Software for cattle farmersPigs
In-app herd management plus species-appropriate TVD arrival notifications: Swiss pigs aren't tracked individually in the TVD, so arrivals are reported as group (head-count) notifications.
Nine more features.
Scan an ear tag
Bluetooth reader or camera — the number is recognised without typing. Scanning also works offline after the first load.
Weights and gains
Birth, weaning and monthly weights. Daily gains and breed comparisons at a glance.
Care and animal welfare
Notes with photo and voice input, body condition score, FAMACHA, hoof care and shearing.
Feeding journal
Purchases, ration periods and an audit export for Bio Suisse and IP-Suisse — including a reconciliation of bought against used.
Team and permissions
Several people on one farm, with permissions per member. You do not have to do it alone — and nobody sees more than they should.
Reports and analyses
Movements, TVD history, lambing rate, losses. All as CSV or PDF.
Ear tag stock
Ordered, assigned and free tags at a glance.
Import and export
CSV import from Excel, full CSV and PDF export back out. No lock-in.
Four species
Sheep, goats, cattle and pigs on the same farm. Pigs are not held individually in the Swiss TVD — you report arrivals as a group report.
What Herdy does not cover: milk yield and breeding values. Neither is built, and we would rather say so here than after your first subscription.
See it on your own herd.
7 days free, no credit card. Your herd comes from the TVD — you type nothing in.
