The Animal Health Data (AHD) system is an online industry benchmarking and feedlot health and production analysis system used by feedlots and their veterinary service providers.

Usage of, and participation in, the AHD service requires the supply of business data to AHD. The data supplied by you (and supplied on your behalf) will be held by AHD (and its authorised agents) and will only be used for calculations, analysis, aggregation and reporting in accordance with the AHD Service.

Your Obligations

As an Organisation's authorised representative, the User must:

Only use the AHD system for lawful purposes related to industry benchmarking and feedlot health and production system analysis.
Only use the AHD system in a manner that does not infringe commercial in confidence rights of your organisation or other users of the system.
Not attempt to undermine the security or integrity of the AHD system or the data contained by the AHD system.
Not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any materials other than those to which the User, as an Organisation representative, have been given express permission by AHD.
Not use, or misuse, the AHD system in any way which may disrupt or impair the functionality of the AHD system or other systems used by the AHD system.

You are responsible for making sure your Organisation (such as and not limited to the business name, address and related details) and User details (such as and not limited to the User name, company user contact details) are correct and up to date in the AHD system. If the User details change, the User should log in to the AHD system and maintain the relevant details. Should anomalies or errors be identified related to the Organisation account or individual User accounts, contact the AHD support team.

To use the AHD system to access data on behalf of an organisation:

The User must currently be an authorised representative of the organisation to access that data or carry out that transaction on their behalf, and that appointment must not have been revoked; and
If that appointment is based on the User holding a certain position within that organisation, the User must currently hold that position.

AHD Data Policy

Animal Health Data ("us", "we", or "our") operates the https://animalhealthdata.com.au/ website (hereinafter referred to as the "Service").

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of business data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data. The Data Policy for Animal Health Data has been created with the help of TermsFeed.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Data Policy, the terms used in this Data Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, accessible from https://animalhealthdata.com.au/

Data Collection

Animal Health Data collects, stores and processes data supplied by feedlots and (when authorised) from third parties such as MSA, NLIS, and processing plants.

The supplied data form the feedlot is deidentified at the feedlot source before transmitting to Animal Health Data to protect the identity of the feedlot.

The feedlot, and third party provided data, undergoes limited data integrity validation to ensure data is within acceptable data value ranges. Unacceptable data is rejected or where possible resubmitted from the feedlot, or third party data sources, with corrections made at the data source.

The ownership of all supplied data remains with the entity that originally supplied the data.

Data Management

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.

Any benchmarking or aggregated reporting that is made available to industry and for inclusion in benchmark reporting is de-identified and aggregated to a level to obscure the identification of the source of the data.

Where the feedlot reporting includes specific attributes for any grouping and that data is not provided by the feedlot, the data will be grouped as ‘Undefined’. An example is where the feedlot does not provide the ‘biological type’ for the animals that comprise a lot, the grouped aggregated reporting will be grouped as ‘Undefined’.

No manipulation or alteration of the supplied data is undertaken within the feedlot reporting or aggregation processing, other than attribute value range limiting. The aggregated reporting includes the population counts for the data (which is a count of the feedlot) and third party source provided data, that passes the integrity validation checks.

Data Security

Animal Health Data will take all such reasonable precautions as are necessary, to maintain the confidentiality of the feedlot provided data to prevent its disclosure directly or indirectly to any person, other than in accordance with this service.

Data Disposal

The feedlot can, through written request, require the deletion of specified data that has been supplied by the feedlot. Animal Health Data will formally notify the feedlot of the deletion of the specified data.

Data Transmission

Release of feedlot related data to any third party requires the written authorisation by an authorised feedlot representative specifying the data that may be released.

If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us.
