Animal Identification & Traceability System (AITS)
State information system
Description
Animal Identification & Traceability System (AITS) is a state information system that enables identification and traceability of animals and animal products throughout the food value chain. The system includes modules for animal identification, veterinary safety (Vetbezopasnost), and traceability, allowing authorities and stakeholders to track the origin, movement, and health status of animals from farm to consumer. AITS addresses food safety concerns and supports regulatory compliance in the animal production sector.
Technology
AITS operates as a web-based application connected to a centralized database. The system utilizes RFID tags, barcodes, and other identification technologies to mark animals and track their movement. Veterinary and traceability modules integrate data from farms, processing facilities, and distribution channels, enabling real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities.
Target
The main users of AITS are government authorities, veterinary services, and agricultural enterprises involved in animal production. The system is mandatory for farms and facilities handling animals and animal products in Belarus, ensuring compliance with national and international food safety standards.
Business model
AITS is provided free of charge to users as a state-mandated system. The costs are covered by the government budget, ensuring universal access for all stakeholders in the animal production value chain.
Impact
AITS enhances food safety and traceability in the animal production sector, enabling rapid response to disease outbreaks and ensuring consumer protection. The system supports compliance with international standards and facilitates trade by providing transparent information about animal origin and health status.
