AgriWebb allows you to bulk update your individual animals by uploading a CSV with rows that contain an animal ID (an EID or a VID) and a set of animal characteristics to update. Additionally, it forms part of AgriWebb's broader animal records management functionality, making tasks like creating and assigning records more streamlined.

The bulk updater is intended for correcting / completing your animal’s characteristics when you are creating them. Note: This is not a tool for keeping your animal records up to date.

To upload a CSV go to the Web App > Livestock > Individuals. From the individual list click the Import animal updates button and select Import animal updates.
​

Note: If you are located in the UK, you will also see a 'scan passport' option

To add multiple animal records at once, follow these steps:

You will be asked to identify the species, then directed to upload your CSV file, then you will be asked to select an identifier.​

We will use this information to identify your animals in the CSV and match them with your animals in AgriWebb. 

For example, if you have animals with only VIDs in AgriWebb and you want to add EIDs, you could upload a CSV with VIDs and EIDs and select “VID” as your identifier.

Next you can choose which columns from your CSV you want to use to update your animals. In the below example we are using the VID as the identifier, and updating the Age Class, Breed and Date on Farm

​Fields that can be updated:

Updating existing tags

Choose the tag you want to update

Map the relevant column once you have selected that tag type

This will update/edit the original tag record for this animal with the new details

Adding new tags

If the individuals already exist in AgriWebb but you want to add additional tags. Choose the tag you want e.g. DNA ID or Breed society ID

Map the relevant column once you have selected that tag type

This will add a new tag record to that animal with the new details.

Note: Unique identifiers are essential for bulk record management. Consult AgriWebb’s guidelines for creating or assigning IDs.

If we are unable to identify any values in your CSV you will be able to provide a valid value. This could be due to missing or invalid data in your CSV. In the below example there are 22 CSV rows with empty breeds.

At this point you might also see errors about duplicates in your CSV. If you have multiple rows with the same EID/VID you will have to select which one you want to import.

Before saving your updates you will be able to see a preview of the changes that will be made. When you are happy with these changes, click Save.

Note: Verify the format of your CSV file and ensure all required fields are correctly filled before proceeding.
