Frequently Asked Questions
How does Myhealthyherd make my cattle healthier?
The program is designed to reduce the risk of diseases entering your herd and spreading within your herd.
For example, the Health Planner provides a simple yet dynamic tool for creating a Red Tractor-compliant health plan, the Disease Manager allows you to define the best preventive and treatment programs for the herd and using the Health Evaluator will demonstrate the true economic picture and profit potential to be gained by investing in health. All vaccinations, lab test results and other farm documentation can also be stored within the program.
See Modules for more information.
How do I join Myhealthyherd?
Farmers can join Myhealthyherd for free and start building a Red Tractor-compliant health plan straight away. Just go to ‘Join Now’ to complete the straightforward registration process – no credit card required.
We also offer a free-trial period for veterinary practices who are interested in building Myhealthyherd into the range of services on offer to their clients.
How can I share myhealthyherd with my vet?
The program works best if you link your account with your veterinary practice. This provides your vet with shared, secure access to your myhealthyherd account, enabling them to view and sign off your health plan electronically and provide professional input into some of your key herd health management decisions.
To link with your vet, navigate to the ‘Connections’ page within ‘Settings’ and send them an invitation! Many veterinary practices already use the program to upload lab results, reports and update vaccinations for their clients, so you will probably find that your vet is already a registered user of Myhealthyherd.
I am a farmer and would like to join myhealthyherd. How much does it cost?
You can use a lot of the great myhealthyherd features for free; this includes full access to the Health Planner and tools for managing your disease control strategies and vaccination schedules.
If you want to use Myhealthyherd to manage the health of more than one of your herds, or to access the full range of available modules, then you can upgrade your Myhealthyherd subscription for a cost of just £120 per annum.
