The fact that in 2020 the introduction of a unified identification of cattle stock began in Tatarstan was told by the head of the commercial department of the RIVC Danis Sayfutdinov. He told and showed in presentations about the system: the animal is assigned a unique number registered in a single information system, which is recorded on a tag or chip, the veterinary service of the region makes the final registration, which confirms the presence of the animal. At the same time, the owner of the animal can see his livestock and the entire history of veterinary measures for a particular animal in an electronic database. Without a single number, the animal will not be able to get to slaughter, and even more so, to the counter. Any buyer, if necessary, will be able to see the origin of the animal and the entire history of veterinary measures.
