All of this action's fields are listed below. If any are required to have a value, that is noted.

More general information about all of the fields can be found in the Field Descriptions topic.

  • Event Type.
  • Date. Required.
  • Drug. Required. You can choose from your ranch-chosen drugs, but you can always choose from all available drugs as well. On a computer, use the ... button to do this. On a mobile device, use the control that switches between ranch only and all drugs.
  • Route. Required. After you've chosen a drug, the possible administration routes for that drug will be available in this field and the first one will automatically be selected. You can change it if you need to.
  • Location. You can record the administration location here, if you want.
  • Dosage. Required.
  • Cost. Herdly automatically calculates the cost of administering this drug each time you change the drug or dosage. This is based on the drug pricing you current have set up in Drugs. You can manually recalculate using the Recalculate button or manually enter a value.

When you have finished filling in the fields in this action, use the Save button to save your information. A drug event record will be created for each selected animal and their withdrawal dates will be updated.
