What this sheet is for
Keep a medicines record that answers what went into which goat and when the milk or meat is clear.
Who it is for
Anyone keeping goats, from two in a paddock to a commercial dairy herd.
How to use it
- Copy the medicine name, batch, expiry and withdrawal from the label every time.
- Work out the date the withdrawal ends and write that date down.
- Identify the animals well enough that somebody else could pick them out.
- Keep the record as long as your own rules require, which is often years.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Treatments given, by whom, and the date each animal is clear — copied from the label every time.
Every figure comes from the label. No medicine, dose, route or withdrawal period is printed here and none ever will be. Those come from the product label and your vet, they differ between products and countries, and a wrong one could put milk or meat into the food chain. Recording requirements are also a legal matter in many countries — check what applies to you.

Questions
Why are no doses listed?
Because doses, routes and withdrawal periods differ by product, formulation and country, they change, and many goat medicines are prescribed off-licence by a vet. A wrong figure here could put milk or meat into the food chain. The label and your vet are the only sources.
Is keeping this a legal requirement?
In many countries, yes, often on a prescribed form and for a set number of years. Check with your own authority — this sheet does not tell you what applies.
