Check your herd for health issues

Check for urgent health issues

Check your dashboard at least once a day for the Urgent attentions. An urgent attention appears when an animal shows abnormal behavior for too long, which can indicate a serious health issue. Immediate action is necessary. Follow the instructions in the chart below when you receive an urgent attention.
