What this sheet is for
Account for every medicine from the day it arrives to the day it is used up or thrown away. Batch and supplier stay on file, and opened bottles are not kept past their date.
Who it is for
Livestock keepers, smallholders and farm staff who buy in, store and dispose of veterinary medicines.
How to use it
- Log each medicine as it arrives, with the batch, expiry, quantity, supplier and the prescription it came on, and file the invoice.
- Date every container when it is opened and write the discard-by date from its data sheet.
- Check the medicine store and fridge on your own routine and record the readings against the range you keep to.
- Record every disposal: what, how much, how and where it went.
What is on the sheet
2 pages, in this order:
Page 1
Printed under the title: Every veterinary medicine that comes onto the holding, with its batch, supplier and prescription; then the store and fridge checks, opened containers and anything disposed of.
The label and data sheet set the figures. This is the buying-in and storage side; what was given to which animal goes on an animal medicine record. No storage temperature, in-use life or disposal method is printed: each comes from the product's label or data sheet, your vet and the rules where you are, which also say how long these records must be kept.

Questions
How is this different from the animal medicine record?
The animal medicine record logs what was given to which animals, with the withdrawal date. This sheet covers the other half: medicines coming onto the holding, how they are stored, when containers were opened, and how anything left over was disposed of.
Why is there no fridge temperature or shelf life printed?
Because they differ between products and are set by each product's label or data sheet. The sheet leaves a blank for the range you keep to and a column for each container's discard-by date, copied from its own data sheet.
