Registry overview

Enroll an animal →

Today a farmer's herd exists as ear tags and a spreadsheet, and every party with money at risk — insurer, bank, buyer, state vet — keeps their own copy and hopes it agrees with the others. This is one register of the animal itself, that all of them read from.

Gallery size is displayed everywhere a score is, deliberately. A match rate against 92 animals and a match rate against two million are not the same claim, and quoting the first as if it were the second is the most common way biometric accuracy gets misrepresented.

Registered animals

Every row is an animal, not a tag. The tag is one attribute among many and can be cut off; the biometric template cannot.

On a narrow screen the table scrolls sideways inside its own box — owner, holding and enrolment date are to the right. The page itself never scrolls sideways.

What assurance level means

Vet-witnessed — a registered veterinarian was physically present at capture. Accredited operator — an auction official or field agent whose accreditation is on file and revocable. Self-service — the farmer captured it alone. An insurer can price these differently, and if an operator's accreditation is later revoked, every animal they enrolled is one query away.
