Health & Treatment

The free, always-on core of SwineOps. Record every treatment with its withdrawal period, and the safe-ship date is worked out for you — so a treated pig is never shipped before its drugs clear. Walk the barn with a phone-sized report, see which farms have gone quiet, route medication and movement requests for approval, and give your vet a live window into every farm they cover.

The SwineOps Health & Treatment module — Farm page: batches, alerts, bins and deliveries

What it does

Treatments & withdrawal compliance

Treatment recording with dosage, route, and withdrawal period — with the shortest path to recording work from the batch page
Safe-ship date computed automatically from the treatment's end date plus withdrawal
Multi-dose courses tracked as dose N of M, with co-administered medications folded into one record
Individual pig identifiers on a treatment given animal by animal, when you want them
Void a treatment — its effects are reversed, the record stays
Withdrawal alerts as a batch approaches its safe-ship date, and a notice when it clears

Barn walkthrough reports

A phone-sized walkthrough form — two gates, observations, and your organization's own questions, grouped by section
A cadence per farm, so the manager sees which walkthroughs are due and which are late
Reports emailed to the recipients each organization configures, and listed for the manager with detail per farm
A farm feed page — bin gauges, manual readings, and upcoming deliveries, right beside the barn

Farm activity & alerting

A farm activity monitor — which farms have gone quiet, when each was last viewed, with reminders and confirmations
Per-farm mortality and morbidity thresholds, plus a daily death-count threshold, that raise alerts
Alert emails arrive as a per-user digest on the cadence you choose, not one mail per alert
An emailed daily mortality report by subscription, and rooms inside a barn so a report says which room

Medication & movement requests

Medication inventory by product and silo, drawn down as treatments are logged, with stock-solution litres on the batch page
Back-dated treatments capped at the medication actually on hand as of that date
Medication requests routed to an admin to approve or reject
Movement requests — a transfer to any farm in the organization, with a destination barn and an explicit merge choice on arrival

Vet oversight

Vet dashboards with a live view of every farm and farm group they cover
Reusable treatment protocols — a diagnosis auto-fills the medications, dosage, and intervals
Mortality-only alarms, linked accounts, and a richer farm list for the clinic
Farm notes and an alert pipeline that routes each breach to the right person

How it works

1
Record the treatment

Log the medication, dose, and route from the batch page; a protocol fills the rest and the withdrawal sets the safe-ship date.
2
Walk the barn

The crew runs the walkthrough on a phone; the manager sees which farms are due, late, or quiet.
3
Keep meds straight

Inventory draws down as treatments post; new medications and farm-to-farm transfers route for approval.
4
Give the vet the picture

Assigned vets see mortality against threshold across their farms and step in before a problem spreads.

How it connects

Health & Treatment is the free foundation the rest of the platform builds on. A batch's safe-ship date tells Movement & Compliance when its pigs can load, mortality and vet invoices flow into Financial as inventory and cost against the lot, treatment and mortality history sit alongside the Grow-Finish batch and its rooms, and every withdrawal warning, threshold breach, or quiet farm becomes a signal in the Operations Hub.

Health & Treatment is the part of SwineOps every account gets for free, and it’s the compliance backbone of the whole platform. The rule that matters most on a hog farm — don’t ship a pig before its medications clear withdrawal — stops being something someone tracks on a whiteboard: the safe-ship date is computed from the treatment the moment it’s logged, the batch carries it, and the warning comes before the truck does. The barn walkthrough, the farm activity monitor, medication inventory, and vet oversight all live in the same record, so the clinical picture is current the moment the barn logs an event — and you know when a barn has stopped logging.

Frequently asked

Is Health & Treatment really free?

Yes. It's included with every SwineOps account and always on — you don't license it. The production, labor, movement, and financial modules are what you add on top.

How is the safe-ship date worked out?

From the treatment itself. Each medication carries a withdrawal period, so the safe-ship date is the treatment's end date plus that withdrawal — computed for you, and re-derived when a multi-dose course extends. You're never asked to calculate or enter it.

What is a barn walkthrough report?

A short form the crew fills on a phone as they walk the barn — two yes/no gates with observations, plus whatever questions your organization adds. Each farm has a cadence, so the manager's list shows what's due and what's late, and completed reports go to the recipients you set.

How do I know a farm has stopped recording?

The farm activity monitor lists each farm with when it was last viewed and last had work recorded, flags the quiet ones, and can send a reminder and ask for a confirmation.

Will it warn us before a treated pig is eligible to ship?

Yes. Each batch carries the latest safe-ship date across its active treatments; a warning is raised as that date approaches and a notice when it clears, delivered in each person's digest rather than as one email per alert.

Can our vet see across farms without an admin login?

Yes. A vet is invited to the farms or farm groups they cover and gets a dashboard scoped to exactly those — mortality against threshold, treatments, protocols, and alerts — without access to the rest of the organization.
