Health cards for cow ID

Written by 

The animal husbandry department of an Indian state has stepped up work to provide health cards to cows.

In Tamil Nadu the project is going ahead on a pilot basis in seven districts; health cards are being issued to 120,000 cows.

A unique 12-digit number is tagged on the ear of the animal. Details of the cow, quantity of milk yield, name of owner and her cellphone number will be uploaded.

A copy of the health card containing all the details are given to cow rearers too.
