Scan Animal Treatment into Inventory

Available on mobile only, and currently supported in the UK and Australia.

You can quickly add animal treatments to your inventory using barcode scanning!

  1. Select Animal Treatments.

  2. Tap Scan Treatment.

  3. Use your device’s camera to scan the barcode on the treatment packaging.

What information is scanned?

When you scan a barcode, we’ll automatically fill in any information encoded in the barcode, saving you time and improving data accuracy.

Please note: not all barcodes will contain all of the information below. The available details depend on how the manufacturer encoded the barcode.

Withholding Period (WHP) and Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) are not included in the barcode.

UK Barcode Details

If you're scanning in the UK, barcodes can include:

  • Treatment name

  • Batch number

  • Expiry date

  • Container capacity

  • Number of containers

AU Barcode Details

In Australia, barcodes typically include:

  • Treatment name

  • Container capacity

No Match Found?

If AgriWebb can’t find a match for the barcode you scanned, you’ll see the following message:

From there, you can choose to:

  • Search for the treatment in the catalog OR

  • Manually enter the treatment details

Your scan will still be helpful! We’ll store the barcode and use it to improve our treatment database over time.

Scan text into AgriWebb


Using the standard, 'scan text' option on many current phone softwares, you can scan the text for batch numbers, expiry dates and names of products into the text fields within AgriWebb.

  1. Press and hold on the empty text field

  2. Choose 'Autofill', then 'Scan text'

  3. The camera appears and you can scan the text on labels to enter it into the respective fields. Makes life much easier!

Entering Multiple Containers

When entering in multiple containers that share the same batch number and expiry it's important to choose the correct method to suit your enterprise.

Combined Containers

If all containers share the same batch number and expiry you can add these into AgriWebb as one combined unit. Simply adjust the Container Size field to the sum of all the containers (i.e 5x10mL containers = 50mL).

Note: Ensure you fill in the Number of Containers field with 1.

Separate Containers

You can also enter them in as seperate containers, one for each physical container. For this method simply fill in the Number of Containers field with the number containers you physically have. For example, if you had 5 containers of Ultravac you would fill this field with 5. This will create seperate line items for each container.

Note: When treating animals and livestock with these items you'll need to follow the steps explained in our Multi-Batch Treatments article.

Duplicate, Edit, Add Note and Archive

Select the inventory item by tapping on the item arrow > to the right of the item. Use the toolbar at the bottom of the page to duplicate, edit, add notes, record, archive, or delete the item.

tools for editing livestock records

You can change the details of the item by tapping Edit.

A few things to note when editing inventory:

  1. Editing an inventory item will not automatically change historical records. To reflect the updated inventory on a previous record, you will need to find the record in the Livestock or Paddock history and re-save the record.

  2. When editing the Remaining amount in your containers you must also fill in Remaining accurate as of date. This will create record in the items history to indicate at what date this level was recorded.

Adjusting Container Amounts

When editing the Remaining amount in your containers you must also fill in Remaining accurate as of date. This will create record in the items history to indicate at what date this level was recorded.

Note: When adding an Inventory item, and then backdating a treatment record. Ensure the Remaining accurate as of date is prior to the application date, otherwise it will add the treatment record BUT not remove the correct amount out of the inventory item.

To solve, you can Edit and Save the Accurate as of Date to before the treatment date.
