Move animals on to your holding in Breedr

You can quickly move animals on to your farm in Breedr via the mobile app and also send these movement details direct to BCMS/ScotEID

To move animals on to your farm through Breedr is a simple two step process: 

  1. 'Scan passport' or 'Add animal' to add animals onto your farm on your mobile app
  2. Go to your Regulatory dashboard  to either 'Approve and send' this movement to BCMS; 'Change date' of the movement; 'Abort (do not send)' movement or 'Reject' (undo/revert) movement

Make sure Movements are switched on within your account settings before you scan your passports and/or add animals, if you want to register the movement with BCMS through Breedr in the Regulatory Dashboard.

 

Scan passport and/or Add Animal from your mobile app:

The quickest way to add animals is via the 'Scan passport' button on the dashboard of the Breedr mobile app. Scan in the bottom bar code of the animal passport to automatically pull across the number, date of birth, sex and breed of the animal.
