How to get Aadhaar card for cattle and buffaloes?

Aadhar card for Cows and Buffaloes is developed to track the population of livestock. Aadhar card known as Pashu Aadhaar is being developed by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).

Just like Aadhaar cards, Pashu Aadhaar will also assign a unique identification number to each animal, alongside a host of other related data that will help in managing the country’s vast livestock resources. Pashu Aadhaar is being touted as the world’s largest existing database of animals.

During the process, every animal will be provided with an ear tag that would contain its own 12-digit UID. Pashu Aadhaar will contain data on the bovines’ species, breed, pedigree, and information related to calving, milk production, and vaccination.

Pashu Aadhaar is being introduced with the aim of enhancing traceability of livestock and their products, such as milk or meat. This will also help farmers and animal husbandry officials devise better strategies to manage livestock in the country.

As of August 2019, 22.3 million animals have got Aadhar card.
