Recording activities against animals during or after a crush session

Activities can be applied during or after a crush session, such as applying medicine individually or in bulk, and tagging animals while weighing

All activities can be applied on the go during a weigh session.

For example, if you want to administer a medicine activity and you are applying this medicine on a per-weight basis, it is recommended that you do this as you go along.

If the animals are receiving a blanket treatment, this can be applied at the end of a session in bulk. 

Find out how to apply medicines both on an individual and bulk level in this article. You can also find out how to add or remove tags against animals while weighing.
