Your animals. Your records.
Your position in the chain.
Livestock OS gives producers the tools to register animals, create compliant movement batches, request veterinary inspection, and track each batch through to slaughter — all from a single connected system. No paper. No phone calls to chase certificates. No surprises at the gate.
Four steps from registration to movement.
Farm onboarding on Livestock OS is designed to be completed in a single session. You register your entity, tag your animals, create a batch, and request a vet. From there, the chain runs itself — your role is to initiate and receive, not to chase paperwork.
What the system records per animal.
Each animal in your herd has its own record on Livestock OS. This record follows the animal through every movement and is updated at each stage of the chain. You control your records — and your records travel with your animals.

Livestock OS supports all major species.
The system is built for the full range of commercial and small-scale livestock in South Africa. Species-specific compliance rules — including tick control area requirements, FMD zone restrictions, and breed-specific movement permits — are applied automatically based on your farm's registered location and the declared species.
Your movement readiness checklist.
Livestock OS confirms each of these conditions before the batch status moves to COMPLIANCE_CLEARED. You can check the readiness status of any batch at any time from your farm portal. If any item is outstanding, the system shows you exactly what is missing and what to do next.
Livestock OS is currently in pilot with a selected group of farms, feedlots, vets, and abattoirs across South Africa. Apply now to secure your place in the first verified network.
