What is FarmAssist?
As part of the Red Tractor standards, producers must have an annual review of their medicine use and antibiotic testing results with their vet. FarmAssist brings this information together in a farm certificate.
FarmAssist Report
What Are The Benefits?
- As well as having a summary of the medicine use in their dairy herd, producers will be able to view their herd against national or target figures for antibiotic use.
- Vet practices will be able to benchmark and review the use of antibiotics across their clients’ herds.
- Milk purchasers will also be able to benchmark antibiotic use across their producer pool to help support their wider role in antibiotic stewardship.
How Does It Work?
We require information from vet practices on quantities of medicine products, in particular antibiotics, dispensed to individual farms for use in the dairy herd and young stock. This information is required for 2017 and subsequent years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Information will be stored electronically at NMR. This will be in a secure environment equivalent to that currently used to manage the payment test results for individual producers.
It is intended that information will be shared with vets and their producer clients and milk purchasers. However, in line with our data privacy statement, we will not share any individual producer or vet information with any party other than those for whom we have permission to do so.
Anonymised summary data may be made available to other appropriate third parties – no individual producer, vet practice, or milk buyer will be identified. Appropriate third parties may include national industry groups (for example, Dairy UK, Red Tractor, British Cattle Veterinary Association, Cattle Health and Welfare Group) and government agencies (for example, the Veterinary Medicines Directorate).
Information relating to individual producers will be retained for 6 years (for example, data relating to 2017 will be available until the end of 2023). Anonymised data will be available indefinitely.
