IDENTITY REGISTRY

Every animal must exist in the system before it can move. The Identity Registry is the foundation of Livestock OS — the persistent record of who an animal is, where it started, and what makes it uniquely identifiable.

V001 Live

Before anything moves, it must exist.

The Identity Registry creates and maintains the core animal record. Each registered animal receives a unique Livestock OS identifier, linked to its physical ear tag number, species, breed, sex, date of birth, and origin farm. This record is the anchor for every downstream compliance event — health certificate, movement permit, batch inclusion, ownership transfer.

Unique System Identifier
Each animal receives a Livestock OS system ID at registration. This ID links to the physical ear tag and persists through all movements, transfers and herd changes.
Origin Farm Link
The registration record binds the animal to its farm of origin. Farm identity, province, FMD zone and operational status are inherited from the farm record at registration.
Genetic Reference Fields
Optional sire and dam reference fields allow breed and genetic origin data to be attached to the identity record. These are reference fields — not validated against external registries in V001.
How It Works

Registration creates the chain.

An operator registers the animal directly in Livestock OS. Physical ear tag number, species, breed, sex and DOB are confirmed. The system generates the unique identifier and sets the animal's state to REGISTERED. From this point, every compliance event is recorded against this identity.

Batch Registration
Multiple animals registered as a herd batch with shared farm and breed attributes. Operational in V001.
Partnership Required
RMIS Cross-Reference
Validation of ear tag numbers against the national RMIS registry. Proposed integration pathway — formal agreement required.
Identity Registry

Every animal. Registered. Confirmed.

The identity registry is live in Livestock OS V001. Pilot access is open for farms, feedlots and abattoirs ready to run real animals through the system.
