Log a death in Breedr
You can log a death against an animal on both the mobile and web app. If your account is synced to BCMS/ScotEID you can also approve and send this registration direct from Breedr
To log a live death through Breedr is a simple two step process from the mobile or web app:
- Record a death on your mobile or web app
- Go to your Regulatory dashboard to either 'Approve and send' to register the death with BCMS; 'Abort (do not send)' registration or 'Reject' (undo/revert) death record.
Make sure Registrations are switched on within your account settings before you record a death, if you want to register the death direct with BCMS through Breedr in the Regulatory Dashboard.
To log a death in the mobile app:

- Head to your 'My Cattle' and select '+ Manage' to select multiple animals or tap directly into an animal that's died
- If you select an individual animal, you'll get to this screen > select 'Manage'
- 'Mark as dead'
- Enter in the Date; cause of death and optionally the disposal destination (choose from your address book or manually enter) and/or the cost of disposal > 'Mark as Dead'
- A green banner will display at the top of your page, indicating a successful logging of the death
Second step - head to your Regulatory Dashboard on the web app:
Click on the number in the 'Ready to Approve' column to bring up animal/s that you have just recorded the death of. Animal/s show up in the table below where you need to select the animal/s in order to register their death. Selected animal/s have a green tickbox to the left of them, as above.
- You can tap the top left box of the table if you want to bulk select the list, or,
- Individually select an animal/s, by individually ticking boxes to the left of each animal
Then select:
- 'Approve and send' to notify BCMS/ScotEID of the movements/registrations
Alternatively, select:
- 'Abort (do not send)' if you have already reported directly to BCMS/ScotEID outside of Breedr and/or do not use Breedr for your BCMS death registrations
- 'Reject' if you'd like to revert/undo the activity
