Its best to create data element as type of animal with option set (Sheep, cow), the orgunit can be your aggregation unit for example districts, provice or countrie, location can be one more dataelements where you can collect vaccinated location. in your program stage you can enable capture coordinate where user can give specific lat and long information.

Hello Gamal,
Do you have some example data or forms that we could refer to in answering this question?
Off the top of my head, you could classify orgunits according to the animal (OrgUnit type), though perhaps it would be better to have separate data elements (e.g. Sheep vaccinated for X, vs Cows vaccinated for X).
For certain items, it could perhaps make sense to use the same data element and separate in terms of categories, I am specifically thinking in terms of the new partner setup that is available in 2.15.
But all of this really depends on a) what data you will collect and b) what kinds of analysis you would like to perform.

It would be interesting to know how you deal with different types of animals (cow, goat, sheep, birds etc) in one database.

Subject: Re: [Dhis2-users] Has anyone used DHIS2 for Animal Health
Yes,
One of the thing which is bit hard to fit in is the concept of location and Organisation unit especially when we are talking about surveillance. But this can also be done using option set and small script to populate the hierarchy of the location.
again its all depend on what we want to analyze than what we want to collect.

Humans are animals too. 
Seriously though, we looked at the use of DHIS2 here in Zambia to replace the current system used for veterinary surveillance, and it seemed to be possible. No concrete work has yet to be done however. There were some challenges with the reporting/organsiational hierarchy however as I recall correctly. Not everything fit nicely into the linear DHIS2 hierarchy.

I know of a concrete propsal that is underway right now to use DHIS2 for animal health, and it is certainly feasible.

We have same type of request on Lab test across different countries in asia. They want to track sample from farms and meat center. We are trying to use tracker for it.

Hi,
this sounds like a quite interesting use-case. Would you be dealing with aggregate data or cases/data about individuals?
With the tracker generalization, you can define animals as tracked entities.
cheers

Hi Gamal,
I don’t see any reason why DHIS2 cannot be used for animal health. There was a post on the DHIS2 user list a while back on different use cases. I am reposting your question to the group to see if anyone has any experience in this area.

Busoye

Dear Busoye,
Just a quick question. Have you used DHIS2 for animal health information? Or do you know of anyone who have used it for this purpose. If not do you know of any software that is used for animal health information.
