In IdeasFarm, the Treatments module allows you to define and standardize veterinary care for specific diseases or diagnoses.

Here you can register the medication, its dose, route of administration, number of doses, and frequency of application for a group of animals or individually.

2️⃣ Treatment frequency

📌 Important:

In IdeasFarm, the minimum frequency is 1 day.

The system does not allow scheduling by hours, only daily or longer intervals.

Frequency configuration:

• Frequency: base time unit → Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly.
• Every: Number of time units between applications.

Example: Daily + Every 1 = every day.

• Ends:
  • Never: the protocol repeats indefinitely.
  • On a specific date: ends on the indicated day.
  • After X repetitions: ends after the indicated number of applications.

3️⃣ Practical example

Objective: Antibiotic treatment for bovine pneumonia, administered once daily.

• Diagnosis: Pneumonia in young cattle.
• Disease: Pneumonia.
• Drug: Oxytetracycline L.A.
• Container unit: ml.
• Dose unit: ml.
• Route: Intramuscular.
• Dose: 20 ml per head.
• Dose type: Per head.
• Number of doses: 5 (one per day).
• Milk/meat withdrawal: Yes (Milk: 5 days, Meat: 28 days).
• Frequency: Daily + Every 1.
• Ends: After 5 repetitions.

📌 Result:

The system will schedule one application daily for 5 days, indicating milk and meat withdrawal times and recording treatment progress.
