Feed & veterinary input records give every lot of feed, medicine, vaccine or supplement a proper electronic batch record (EBR). Instead of a shoebox of labels, each lot is captured with its lot number, expiry date, manufacturer, official registration number (for example a SIPEAGRO registration) and the supplier document it arrived on. When you use that lot on an animal or batch, the usage is logged back to the record — closing the loop between what you bought and what you administered.
This is the backbone of traceability and withdrawal management: because every treatment references a real lot, you can prove exactly which batch of vaccine went into which animals, and Farmso can block expired lots from being used at all.
Use case
A vet delivers a new box of antibiotic. The office records the lot: lot number, expiry, manufacturer, registration number and the invoice it came on. Over the next fortnight workers log treatments in the field that draw from that lot. Months later an audit asks which animals received that specific batch — Farmso answers in seconds, and the same lot can no longer be selected once its expiry date passes.
What a lot record holds
Lot & expiry
The lot/batch number and expiry date — the two facts that drive traceability and blocking.
Manufacturer
Who made it, so a manufacturer-level recall can be traced to your on-hand and used stock.
Registration number
The official product registration (e.g. SIPEAGRO) proving the input is approved for use.
Supplier document
The invoice or delivery note the lot arrived on, linking the record to its paper trail.
Record a lot and its usage
- 1
Open the Lots tab
In the web app go to Supply Chain → Lots to see every feed and veterinary input lot on record.
- 2
Add a lot
Enter the lot number, expiry date, manufacturer, registration/SIPEAGRO number and the supplier document. Save the electronic batch record.
- 3
Log usage
When an input is administered, the treatment references its lot so consumption is tracked against the animals or batches that received it.
- 4
Trust the block
Once a lot passes its expiry date Farmso stops it being selected for any new treatment, preventing accidental use of expired product.
Usage from the field
- 1
Lots are managed on the web
Create and edit lot records in the web app — the field app focuses on capture, not data entry.
- 2
Scan the animal
On the mobile app, scan an ear tag and choose Record health to start a treatment.
- 3
Pick the lot
Select the input lot being used; the usage ties to the scanned animal so the batch record stays complete.
- 4
Expired lots are hidden
Lots past their expiry date are not offered for selection, so you cannot log an expired treatment even offline.
Recording the registration number and supplier document on every lot turns your input records into audit-ready evidence — exactly what compliance schemes and buyers ask for during a trace-back.
FAQ
An EBR is the digital, lot-level history of an input: its identity (lot, expiry, manufacturer, registration), where it came from (supplier document) and where it went (usage logged against animals or batches).
