Livestock service
One record for the individual animal, one ledger for the herd — built to do both in one product
Livestock and mixed-animal practice runs on two kinds of record at once: an individually-ID'd patient chart for the cow with the difficult calving or the bull under a breeding soundness exam, and a group-level ledger for the 200-head lot that just went on a VFD feed additive together. Most software picks one side — a clinical PIMS that treats a herd like 200 separate patients, or a farm-ops tool that tracks the group but has no real patient chart underneath. Vivetra's Livestock service runs both in the same deployment: a genuine per-animal clinical chart alongside a GIN-based (Group/Lot Identification Number) VFD ledger for group-administered feed medications, so a compliance officer and a treating vet are reading the same record, not two systems that have to be reconciled by hand.
$200/mo as your first service — unlimited doctors and staff, fully managed hosting included in that price, not a footnote. +$50/mo if added to an existing Vivetra deployment that already runs another service.
The question a producer opens this to ask at six in the morning
“Can this animal go on a truck today, and can this milk go in the tank?” Everything else on this page matters. That one decides whether a load gets turned away at the plant and whether a tank gets dumped.
Vivetra's Livestock service includes a client portal your farm clients log into themselves, and the first thing it puts in front of them is a withdrawal board: every pen and every individually-identified animal on the operation, with anything currently inside a withdrawal window flagged as such. The dates come straight off the treatments your vets actually recorded — not off a number somebody wrote on a whiteboard after the truck pulled out of the yard.
Meat-withhold and milk-discard dates, per animal and per pen
The clear date is derived from the treatment record your vet entered, so there's no second log the farm keeps by hand and no arithmetic done twice. If the treatment happened, the date is there.
Individual and group treatment records
Every treatment — given to one identified animal or administered across a whole pen — with the date, the drug, and the dose, visible to the client whose animals they are.
Drug lot numbers and a medicines-used log
The lot number on the bottle is recorded with the treatment, and the medicines used across the operation are logged as a list. A recall notice or a residue investigation becomes a lookup instead of an archaeology project through a year of paper.
Herd records the client can print for themselves
A farm client can pull up their own herd records and print or save them as a PDF — for a processor, a buyer, a QA audit, or their own filing — without your office producing it for them each time. It's their own browser doing the saving; there's no traceability-system or farm-assurance file format behind it.
Read-only, and no payments, on purpose
This portal is a record, not a counter. Clients can see what was done to their animals; they can't edit a clinical record, and there's deliberately no online payment here. Livestock billing doesn't look like consumer billing, so we didn't pretend it does.
Built for the herd and the clipboard
Withdrawal-period tracking per treatment
Any treatment with a meat or milk withdrawal period is tracked per animal or per group, with the clear date flagged against marketing or milk-pickup schedules — the record a processor or auditor asks for first.
Individually-ID'd chart AND group/lot VFD ledger, one product
A single animal keeps a real clinical history — exams, treatments, breeding records — while a GIN-based ledger tracks Veterinary Feed Directives issued to a whole group or lot at once. Same deployment, same database, no export-and-reconcile step between a clinical view and a compliance view.
VFD issuance and expiration tracking
Every Veterinary Feed Directive is logged with its issue date, expiration, and the species/production class it covers, with the statutory expiration ceiling enforced right at data entry — not a paper form filed in a drawer until an audit asks for it.
Farm-call tracking, built for the road
Every ranch or farm call for the day lives in one list — herd checks, pregnancy exams, vaccination rounds — logged and chartable from the truck between stops instead of a separate paper route sheet.
Mixed-species herd records, one shared-core deployment
Cattle, sheep, goats, swine, and poultry records live side by side under the same practice account — a mixed-animal or production-medicine practice doesn't need a second system for the species that isn't cattle.
Chute-side pregnancy checking that works with no signal
Load the herd roster before you leave, then work the chute on a phone or tablet with no bars at all — animal by animal, with the last few entries visible for an inline correction or an undo when the wrong number goes in. The whole session syncs as one transaction when you're back in range, and once it's synced you fill in the producer's report right there and queue it for delivery by email or text.
Antimicrobial-usage reporting
Milligrams of active ingredient per population-correction unit for the whole operation over a date range — group treatments and individual prescriptions summed into one farm-level figure — or narrowed to a single lot's group treatments alone. The number regulators and retail supply chains keep converging on, computed from the records your practice already entered rather than reconstructed for the request.
Unlimited doctors and staff, one flat price
Add a second field vet or a compliance-tracking tech without a per-seat quote — the price above doesn't change because your headcount grows.
Where we're honest about the gap
AgriWebb is the name every large-scale grazing operation already knows — an Australian livestock-management platform used on 10,000+ farms covering 23 million-plus head across 26 countries. AgriWebb has agreed to be acquired by URUS (announced May 2026) — a real consolidation in this space. That's production-scale grazing-management depth Vivetra doesn't claim to match; our lane is the vet-facing clinical chart plus VFD compliance ledger, not whole-ranch grazing and pasture management.
GlobalVetLink provides compliance tools for veterinarians — digital Veterinary Feed Directives (VFDs) and digital health certificates. That's compliance paperwork done well; our approach is to keep the VFD ledger inside the same product as the clinical chart, so the record and the compliance trail are one thing rather than two.
Herdwatch, an Irish agritech company headquartered in Roscrea and used by 20,000+ farmers and ranchers across the US, Ireland and the UK, has acquired VetDrive, which continues operating as before. In our view it's structurally the closest analog to what Vivetra is trying to be — it lists views of individual and whole-herd performance, and in February 2024 it acquired ComTag and Lilac Technology, TB and blood-testing software for vet practices. Our angle is a vet-facing clinical chart with VFD compliance built in, for US, Canadian, UK, Irish, Australian, and New Zealand practices.
CattleMax (cloud cattle record-keeping software for producers, built in 1999 on a working cow-calf operation) and Performance Livestock Analytics/Feedlot Health Management Services are, in our view, a different category — producer and feedlot tools, not vet-facing practice management, so we don't count them as direct competitors.
Two gaps we state plainly rather than gloss over: a large commercial feedlot already paying for Performance Livestock Analytics or Feedlot Health Management Services isn't going to drop those tools for a compliance ledger alone — Vivetra is built to coexist alongside that kind of tooling, not replace it. And we can't confirm what VFD or group-treatment capability, if any, sits behind enterprise or veterinary-partner logins on established herd-record products like DairyComp — that's outside what public research can verify, so we're stating it as an acknowledged unknown rather than claiming they lack VFD or group-treatment features.
Two more things we tell every prospective customer upfront: your farm clients can't pay you from the producer portal — that portal is a records surface by design, so while your practice does invoice and collect from farm clients inside Vivetra (through your own connected Stripe account, in the office or by a payment link you send), the producer's own login is deliberately read-only — and we're a new, unproven vendor next to competitors with real years-long track records. Both are true, and neither is a footnote.
Questions about this service
Will Vivetra replace what our feedlot already uses for production metrics?
Probably not, and we'd rather tell you that upfront. If you're a large commercial feedlot already running Performance Beef from Performance Livestock Analytics, or working with Feedlot Health Management Services on feedlot cattle health, Vivetra's Livestock service isn't built to replace that — it's built to sit alongside it, covering the vet-facing clinical chart and VFD compliance ledger. Most practices that adopt us for this service are looking for the compliance-and-chart piece, not a production-analytics replacement.
