Automated incident logging and communication for animal welfare issues

Purpose

1. Enable automated, immediate logging and multi-channel communication of animal welfare incidents on grazing leases to ensure rapid stakeholder response and regulated record-keeping.

2. Capture comprehensive incident details (date, time, animal ID, nature of issue, location, assigned personnel, evidence media) automatically.

3. Synchronize incident data across property managers, veterinarians, leaseholders, regulatory agencies, and support staff for compliance and audit readiness.

4. Reduce manual entry errors, omission risk, response time lags, and communication silos in day-to-day animal oversight.

Trigger Conditions

1. Field personnel initiate incident log via mobile form submission, SMS, or voice call.

2. IoT sensors detect abnormal animal vitals, movement, or environmental metrics and send alert.

3. Authorized users email a keyword-triggered report, initiating automated workflow.

4. Scheduled welfare audits identify anomalies needing attention.
