Global Beef Health

Global Beef Health is a field notebook and clinical record system for vets and herd health technicians working with beef and dairy cattle. It is built for use in a barn aisle, a feed yard, or at a crush — large tap targets, short forms, and figures that read clearly at arm’s length. Register the animals you are responsible for, open a case when one presents, record examinations and treatments, and let the app track the two things easiest to lose in a busy day: when an animal must be rechecked, and when milk and meat withdrawal periods actually expire.

HERD REGISTER
• Register animals by ear tag with name, breed, sex, birth date or approximate age, pen group, weight and body condition score
• Sections by pen group, with search across tag, name, breed and group
• Filter by under treatment, quarantine, active withdrawal, healthy or culled
• Status pills, active-withdrawal markers and open-case badges on every row
• Animal photos from the camera or your library, stored on device

CASES AND TREATMENTS
• Open a case with presentation date, body-system category, presenting signs and severity
• Record full vitals: rectal temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, rumen contractions, hydration and weight, each with a normal-range hint
• Log treatments with drug, concentration, dose per kg, computed volume, route and site
• Re-examine a case and see vitals change against the previous examination
• Close a case with a final diagnosis and outcome; reopen it if needed
• Per-animal weight and body condition trend charts built from your examinations

WITHDRAWAL TRACKING
• Every administered drug produces a milk-hours and meat-days countdown
• Exact clearing timestamps with a plain-language "milk safe from" and "meat safe from" line
• Local reminders when a withdrawal period clears, with a configurable lead time
• Clear "do not ship / do not sell" status on the animal while any period is active

DAILY WORK VIEW
• Today screen showing overdue rechecks, withdrawals about to clear and quarantined animals
• Follow-up task list grouped by overdue, today, this week and later
• Quick actions for a new case, a new animal, the dose calculator and the drill
• Seven-day chart of cases opened and resolved

CLINICAL REFERENCE
• Disease and syndrome monographs organised by body system: respiratory, digestive, reproductive, lameness, mastitis, metabolic and parasitic
• Signs, differentials, diagnosis and sample types, treatment classes with dose ranges, prevention checklists and withdrawal notes
• Dose and withdrawal calculator with a graduated syringe view, split-dose guidance and one tap to attach the result to an open case
• Body condition scoring guide from 1.0 to 5.0
• Protocol update notes so reference content can be corrected without an app update

REGIONAL SIGNAL BOARD
• Weekly picture of which diagnoses are being reported across contributing devices
• Rising, steady or falling trend per diagnosis with an eight-week chart
• Reports carry only a district name you type
