What information regarding an animal's health history should accompany it when transferred to a new production unit?

  1. Only vaccination records

  2. A summary report prior to arrival

  3. Medical papers from the vet

  4. A complete history including all of the above

The correct answer is: A complete history including all of the above

A complete history including all relevant information is essential when transferring an animal to a new production unit. This comprehensive approach ensures the new management understands the animal's prior health status and any medical treatments it has received. Having a detailed health history, which encompasses vaccination records, a summary report prior to arrival, and medical papers from the veterinarian, allows the new production unit to make informed decisions regarding the animal's care. Such information helps to identify potential health risks, manage diseases, and adhere to specific biosecurity protocols that may be necessary when integrating the animal into a new environment. By maintaining thorough records and sharing this complete history, producers can ensure smoother transitions and better health management practices, ultimately leading to improved animal welfare and productivity.
