The AHD system is an online industry benchmarking and feedlot health, and production analysis system used by feedlots, their parent companies (if applicable) and their veterinary service providers.

Feedlots often use the AHD system through their veterinary service providers, who use AHD to access feedlot reporting and analysis function of behalf of their feedlots.

The AHD system works by importing data files from feedlots as well as (where authorised):

• Grading data from the MSA program.
• Movement and tag data from the NLIS program.
• Slaughter feedback data files and disease & defect data files from processing plants.

This collection of data allows the AHD system to conduct analysis that generates reporting covering:

• Feedlot health performance and benchmarking.
• Feedlot production performance and benchmarking.
• Vendor health and production performance and benchmarking (feedlot, slaughter and whole of life).
• Processing plant yield, offal loss and grading performance and benchmarking.

Animal Health Data will not at any time, use or attempt to use any feedlot provided data in any manner which may cause injury or loss to the feedlot or in any manner other than that in which it was intended by the Animal Health Data service.

The AHD Data, Terms of use, Privacy and Cookie Policies are available online at https://animalhealthdata.com.au/policies.php

For feedlots to participant in the Animal Health Data (AHD) service, they must complete the onboarding process, which includes completing the onboarding form.

A copy of the onboarding form can be requested by sending an email to data@animalhealthdata.com.au
