Precision Farming: Animal Health Treatments, Compliance & Traceability


Livestock farmers and vets have long been aware of the benefits of farm specific health plans including: animal welfare, profitability and efficient farm management. This requires a commitment to precise record keeping, manual data entry and time spent away from the herd and in the office. Faced with these choices in a busy farm environment with limited resources, detailed record keeping has not always been the priority. Depending on the species, national legal requirements and individual veterinarian or producer, health plan practices vary.


Our industry is faced with increasing legal and commercially driven requirements on compli- ance and traceability of animal health plans. The choice is no longer if, but how to implement a true herd health compliance and traceability program. This information needs to flow, to be reliable, relevant, rapidly available and shared across all authorized platforms and stakehold- ers in real time.


In the past years, many technologies have been adapted in livestock production such as mod- ern ventilation, automatic feeding stations and water management with the focus on working more efficiently via automation. Today, our in- dustry sees the need to work more intelligently, to gain via the use of data and predictive ana- lytics. Producers small and large are embracing the IoT (Internet of Things) to collect, analyze and use data directly from the source via new precision farming technologies.


With these global trends in mind for more accountability,


collection of health data, Henke-Sass, Wolf has launched the V-ETIC system.


The introduction of the V-ETIC system from Henke-Sass, Wolf provides an easy to implement solution to measure, track, trace, report and optimize decisions regarding animal health treatments integrated on the familiar HSW ECO-MATIC®

for antibiotic compliance reporting, managing vaccinations for a health passport or counting treatments, V-ETIC can be tailored for the job. Management can be done on an individual, pen/group or farm basis.


transparency and real time


V-ETIC, thru the use of on board RFID technology, provides automatic registration of animal treat- ments in real time.


There are complimentary


functionalities built in that can manage animal health product inventory, usage and on the fly note taking. The system is run via a simple smart phone APP and cloud based program. Users can integrate the V-ETIC APP with partner apps and existing farm management software providing a seamless view of their operation. You choose to follow the data that is important to you for decision making and reporting.


The V-ETIC is designed with the rugged farm en- vironment in mind mounted on the proven HSW ECO-MATIC®


applicator technology. The system


runs on long life batteries with 10 hours of non- stop working synchronized via Bluetooth and uploaded to the cloud via WiFI when available. No WiFi is needed in use adding to the flexibility.


V-ETIC offers: • A management tool to administer, track and trace livestock treatments


• A open platform to integrate into existing or new farm management software


• A suite of reports presenting key perfor- mance indicators


With all stakeholders in mind, from the producer to the consumer, V-ETIC brings compliance and traceability to the treatment point. Learn more about how easy V-ETIC is to implement and use by contacting Henke Sass Wolf. Visit our website www.v-etic.com or email : Stefan.Knefel@henkesasswolf.de
