System for Certifying Use of Acceptable Animal Husbandry Protocol

Abstract

This system provides a rating related to livestock producers' compliance with certain animal husbandry protocols. The system accepts data from other systems or data entry related to movement and location of animals, certification of caretakers, management compliance statements, and documents pertaining to herd health. Additionally, the system provides means to remind employees when recertification is necessary and administer refresher courses to prepare the employee for recertification. Finally, the system can record onsite assessments and remind when they come due. Taking this information into account, the system generates a rating. This rating may be made available to entities outside the producer and signifies the level of compliance the producer has with the various animal well-being protocols imbedded in the system and measured by the activities reported.
