Adding a registered animal manually

← Adding Animals and Animal Folders
To add a registered animal via the Add animal manually function, go to My Herd and click the Add Animal button on the second-level navigation bar; select Add registered animal.

Note: If your animals are registered with ADGA, are AGS animals that are or have been on milk test, or are unregistered animals that are or have been on milk test, try using the Community data lookup function to make your data entry faster and to get additional information on your animals.

Step 1: Select the Add animal manually link:

 

Step 2: Enter animal's full name and its registration information, then click the Continue button.



Step 3:  The Add Animal form will display with the full name and registration information prefilled.

Note: If search results are displayed at this step, please see "What to do if search results are returned at Step 3", below.

a. Complete the additional required data:
  • Animal's Barn/Nickname
b. Add any additional information you may have:
  • Other registration numbers
  • Honor and award titles
  • Herdbook/Register and/or Breed, if not prefilled
  • Date of Birth
  • Animal name
  • Pedigree information, and any additional profile data on pedigree animals you may have
c. Indicate the animal's Source (how it came to be in your herd):

An animal must be added with a Source to ensure proper inclusion in reports. To indicate its Source on the Add Animal form, click the radio button next to the appropriate selection:



...And the applicable fields will display. Complete the required fields, and add any additional information you may want to enter related to the animal's Source:



To learn more about what's the appropriate Source to use, visit: What is Source, and which to use.

To learn how to add additional Registrations and select the Primary Registration, visit: Adding Registrations and selecting the Primary Registration.

Step 4: Once you have completed all the fields you want to have information in, save the animal's Folder to your herd by clicking one of the Save buttons at the bottom of the Add Animal form:
  • Clicking "Save and Go to Folder" saves the animal Folder, and loads the animal's Snapshot page
  • Clicking "Save and Add Another Animal" saves the animal Folder, and loads the Add Animal function's Select registration type page

Adding a registered animal without a Full Name

You can add an animal Folder if you don't know the full name as long as it has a registration or other identification number. Follow the same steps detailed above, but just enter the animal's registration number and registry, leaving the Full Name field blank at Step 2.

What to do if search results are returned at Step 3

Due to the possibility that the animal might be found in the system, the Add registered animal manually form does a "Find animal in Community data" lookup at Step 2. If search results are displayed at Step 3, continue adding the animal using the Adding a folder for a registered animal via Find in Community Data function instructions, starting at Step 3.
