Definitions

  • the instant invention relates to a comprehensive system and method for providing a secure and infallible electronic identification and management system (a) for individual livestock dynamically and irrefutably linked to true ownership of livestock at any given time; (b) for farms and commercial entities engaged in animal agriculture and processing /trading in animal products, by means of an electronic smart ID Card mandatorily issued by government authorities to the owners of livestock and others concerned, which facilitates improved control and management of livestock; and (c) for the creation of futuristic supply chain traceability and e-Governance capabilities in the field of animal agriculture, resting on the platform of a robust, electronic livestock I&R (Identification and Registration) System to be owned and operated by concerned statutory authorities in each country.
  • I&R Identity and Registration
  • Livestock constitute a precious national resource representing high value assets to their owners.
  • livestock identification and proof of their ownership have been sought to be achieved by branding and marking domesticated animals.
  • the symbols used in branding or marking came to be recognised by local practice in search communities.
  • progressive village authorities came to create, registers to record brand marks adopted by livestock owners in their precincts.
  • local governments in many countries have been following the practice of maintaining a jurisdictional registry of species-wise brand marks allocated to livestock owners, principally for cattle, horses, camels, ostrich, sheep, goats and pigs.
  • laws make it mandatory for all livestock owners of those countries to register their brands/marks in this Registry, which is nowadays computerised in some developed countries.
  • this form of identification merely helps establish the owner of an animal; it does not identify the animal.
  • livestock identification techniques have evolved into two main groups: ( 1 ) "private” or “management” identification operated by individual farmers for their own needs; and (2) "official” or “national” identification, mandated by a government authority. Since the late 1990s, scientific practices have come into usage in many countries in an attempt to overcome the above lacuna, with the introduction of electronic tagging devices for livestock to establish their own identity as well as their ownership. Some countries require mandatory electronic tagging of valuable species such as bovine and equine stock. These devices are usually deployed in the form of ear tags, micro-chip implants under the skin of animals and in the case of bovine species, of ruminal boluses ingested in to the animals.
  • the electronic data stored in these passive RFID devices always includes a unique serial number based on which ownership is established.
  • These modern devices carry RFID (radio frequency identification) capability, and the stored data is recognised and displayed by reader units when brought in proximity to the animal. It is possible to interface these reader units to computers, which support livestock management.
  • the inventive installation comprises at least; an identifier borne by the animal; a system for reading the identifier, a self-contained system for communicating with the user, processing and storing in a storage unit data concerning at least an animal, a link between the self-contained system and the reading system; a centralized database assembling data concerning the animals; databases concerning data on the animals are included in the self-contained system storage unit and duplicated in the centralized data bank; means for communicating data between the self-contained system and the centralized database and communication means and between the self- contained system and another self-contained system.
  • US Patent No. US 6,554,188 Bl dated April 29th, 2003 titled “Terminal for an Active Labelling System” provides a reader / writer device (terminal) for accessing item-related data in rewritable tags of the, "RF-ID" type wherein each tag includes non-volatile memory.
  • each animal is implanted with an identified tag. From time to time, the terminal can be given a selected security level by reading password-like and individual identity data from a special tag held by an individual. As a result the individual can gain "read” and / or "write” to selected fields in the data record held within the tag.
  • Schemes are enabled for the enhanced management of animals having such tags include accurate descriptors, proving ownership, showing compliance with disease control programmes and withholding periods after possible treatments, traceability of meat products from the shop to the farm, breeding schemes and performance recording.
  • the use of security levels and the traceability of entries adds to the reliability of the stored information.
  • U.S.Pat. No 5,499,626 to Willham et al describes an implantable programmable electronic data tag, and a scheme for using an individual mammal as its own mobile record capable of receiving changeable information.
  • the document is useful for providing a guide for a livestock record system.
  • a central database is assumed for breed performance averaging (bio-economic values); details of which are described.
  • the data tag is assumed to be battery-driven.
  • U.S.Pat. No. 6,012,415 inventor Linseth describes an RFID tag for the first (rumen) and second (reticulum) stomachs of cattle, combined with a heavy magnet also useful for the minimization of "hardware disease” and a plurality of read or write memories.
  • Venda Corporation (W097/22092) describes a physical device providing a form of security for confidential data upon a smart card or the like, in which simultaneous access of the smart card together with a second smart card containing enabling information such as a password is required.

  • the instant invention when deployed as a national level programme fosters discipline among livestock owners, ensures prompt compliance with laid down rules pertaining to livestock, curbs livestock theft, facilitates effective macro-policy formulation, enables efficient governance of livestock populace species-wise by various government and concerned nongovernment agencies, significantly improves livestock breeding, production systems and health management practices, assists in livestock disease management— in a manner that preponderates all known practices in this behalf.
  • Y CHAIN TRACEABILITY Creates globally uniform system for rapid traceability of both livestock as well as edible & non-edible products of animal origin Establishes true 'Farm to Fork' traceability with human readable twin trace codes of farm of origin + commercial entity engaged in livestock processing with facility for rapid online verification by wholesale and retail customers Fulfils all statutory directives by authorities in various countries concerning livestock identification and traceability— issued, proposed or planned - concerning animal health and food safety Traceability system designed to cover both domestic sales as well as export sales of livestock and all products of animal origin Traceability helps monitor consumer preferences for products based on originating geographic indication 6. Only the traceability function of the system can be activated to ascertain farm of origin of, for example, honey, eggs, poultry, fish, seafood and the like, without involving the ID aspect. This is a unique advantage to inspecting officials as well as customers.
  • ID System represents a powerful tool to assist in protection and promotion of animal and human health All ID Cards operate online / offline and have near field communication [NFC] capability World's first system of classifying farms and commercial operators based on the quality standards and reliability of their products and processes - reflected by the last digit of the 18— digit ID Card Numbering System Numbering System ideally fulfils needs of AIN, ⁇ , FIN, GIN, LID, etc.
  • ID card serves as reliable identity proof of weddingists etc for other applications as they are issued after thorough verification and contain owner's biometric data [optional feature]
  • ID Smart Card is the crucial interface linking the animal's RFID device ID to the owner's ID under the Livestock Identification Programme, and reflected online in the electronic National Livestock Registry records of each country Since owners - not livestock - comply with laws and regulations, the ID system with convergence of livestock identity with owner's identity now offered ensures responsible conduct and better accountability by owners Since subsidies and fiscal incentives are granted and paid to desertists and farm owners— not to livestock— the authentic identity of former established by this System — with the latter's identity being correlated thereto— precludes fraudulent claims Creates reliable
  • Branding marks cannot as, for example, in the US, 36 States do not have brand inspection authorities, hence brand listing not possible System designed to create serious barriers to livestock rustling and illegal transportation / trading in stolen stock Traceability based on a good animal and premise ID system as proposed does not in itself assure food safety, product quality or prevention of animal disease. It only provides a reliable dataflow path to support these goals Merely tracing animals in case of disease outbreak not sufficient. Tracing their owners rapidly is more important to fix responsibility and to hold them accountable to authorities.
  • the ID numbering methodology enables just that, regardless of change of ownership or country of origin
  • Unique geo-territory based numbering system provides effective tool to rapidly trace- back and isolate source farm and / or processing plant of affected stock and contain spread of disease; and to place embargo on livestock and meat supplies from countries / provinces / specific farms or abattoirs reportedly facing livestock disease or contamination, from entering the food chain. This is hardly possible with individual animal RFID device numbers System absorbs existing and conventional ID practices of various countries.
  • Tabs provide ready traceability of IDs of individual animals at (i) farm of birth (ii) feedlot (iii) sale-yards (iv) abattoirs (v) cutting halls Traceability links lead to source farm of group animals in a batch, not to individual animals. When beef is processed and packed on high speed flow-line machines, source farm / feedlot IDs are relevant
