The present invention provides computer-assisted methods, including interactive systems, for tracking and correlating of breeding, veterinary ca re and performance data relating to livestock animals. In particular, the metho ds are especially useful for tracking breeding and veterinary care histories of individual animals or the collective herd or flock and relating the historie s to performance parameters of the animals and to expect or desired performances. The methods of the invention can allow the operator to be alerted by deviation of the actual performance parameters from desired performances so that feed, medications, vaccinations, husbandry conditions, food safety etc of the animals may be adjusted or corrected accordingly. Suc h methods include obtaining and maintaining the data obtained from each animal , and optionally other data relating to the animal~s health, condition or parentage, or to its herd, and providing this data to others through web-bas ed systems, contained in a database, or attached to the animal itself such as b y an implanted microchip.
