Livestock

Overview

The Livestock register records animal loss from an impact against known levels of stock. Livestock is a sub-item of Cases and as such items in the register are attached to or added in existing Case record(s). Once added you can manage existing Livestock records directly in the register.

This register provides the following features:

• Record the location and extent of the livestock impact

• Add details of affected livestock (dairy, poultry, beef, goats, horses, sheep etc), including the number of livestock prior to an impact

• Record numbers of deceased, missing and those with status that is still being assessed.

• Record the number of animal(s) at a property prior to and from an impact

You can only record one type of animal per livestock item. To record a different animal, attach another Livestock item to a Case.
