Medicated Feed Management

Managing medicated feed is a critical part of livestock production, and a program like CanTrace Farms provides a solution by creating a complete digital record of its use. The system would help producers log key details, from the type of medication and dosage to the specific animals that received it, ensuring all information is accurate and easily accessible. This is vital for regulatory compliance, as it helps producers adhere to strict Canadian rules regarding veterinary prescriptions and the use of antimicrobials in feed. By automatically tracking and alerting producers to the required withdrawal periods, CanTrace prevents the accidental sale of animals with drug residues, which is a major food safety concern. Furthermore, this meticulous record-keeping supports better antimicrobial stewardship, providing valuable data for producers to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments and make more informed decisions about herd health.
