Click "Load Example" to see two pre-filled entries. Preview the output in the dark cards, then generate the PDF to confirm formatting matches your needs before entering real data.
Caretakers may not know withdrawal periods by memory. Write the withdrawal period directly in the medications field (e.g., "Oxytetracycline 200 mg/mL, 5 mL IM left neck, Day 1–3. Withdrawal: 22 days from last injection.") so it appears on the printed packet.
The PDF automatically stamps the current date. When you update a packet due to a diet or medication change, discard or mark the old printed version immediately to prevent caretakers from following outdated instructions.
Caretaker packets are assembled from user-entered fields per pig/pen entry (ID, diet, feeding times, medications, special notes). PDF generation uses jsPDF with portrait letter format. Each pig/pen occupies one page. A cover page includes farm name and generation date. All processing is client-side — no data leaves your browser.

Consistent caretaker communication is a critical but often underinvested area of swine husbandry. Studies in agricultural animal welfare show that caretaker error — missed feedings, incorrect medication dosing, failure to observe health changes — is a leading cause of preventable morbidity.
Proper medication documentation protects the producer, the caretaker, and the consumer. Federal law (AMDUCA — Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act) requires extra-label drug use to be prescribed by a licensed veterinarian under a valid VCPR (Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship).
Always use the FDA's Green Book or the FARAD database (farad.org) for current withdrawal guidance. This tool's notes field is a documentation aid — it does not validate withdrawal periods.
