Kyrgyzstan tracks livestock with new database
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
In the At-Bashinsky district of Kyrgyzstan’s Naryn region, officials registered over 15,600 young cattle in the last nine months using a new electronic database.
The initiative intends to improve livestock management, animal safety, and veterinary care by tracking animals with microchips and unique identification numbers. Registration exceeded planned targets by 13 percent. Alongside cattle, authorities also microchipped 9,365 horses, meeting 98 percent of their goal for that species.
The system extends to beekeeping and fish farming, with 734 beehives and 32 fish ponds now officially registered. Veterinarians are updating animal lists to reflect sales, deaths, and slaughters, and health monitoring now relies on a fully digital system. During the nine-month period, officials tested nearly 9,000 blood samples from cattle, horses, and sheep for brucellosis.
