When an animal dies on the holding, the Farm Wizard Herd Register should be updated and the Death movement can optionally be reported to the BCMS.  The Batch Manager can be used to record one or more animal deaths

 To record a single animal death event:

  1. Go to the Herd Manager main menu and click List Herd

  2. Search or scroll to locate the required animal

  3. Click on it's ear tag in the list to display it's details to the right of the screen

  4. Click the Death button and complete the date of death, the disposal premises and the reason

  5. If you need FarmWizard to report the Death movement to BCMS/APHIS, tick the "Click to register..." box

  6. Click the button "Record Death"
