ScotEID, working in partnership with the Scottish Government's Animal Health and Welfare (AHW) Division, has launched a new online system to record Bluetongue Virus (BTV-3) vaccinations.
This system enables livestock keepers to record vaccinated animals (cattle, sheep, and goats) by entering their individual identification numbers. All vaccinations must be recorded on ScotEID within 48 hours of being administered.
The vaccine recording tool is built on the existing ScotEID platform and is designed to be simple and easy to use. Livestock keepers already familiar with ScotEID will find the process straightforward.
Key features of the system include:
- Recording individual animals vaccinated on the holding (cattle, sheep, and goats)
- Reminder notifications when booster vaccinations are due
- Future-ready functionality for recording other disease vaccinations, such as Foot and Mouth Disease
- Support for other susceptible species, recorded via the GOV.UK form
Please speak to your local vet about a vaccination strategy and always follow the vaccine manufacturer’s instructions.
