Intelligence for Africa's livestock economy
Livestock Affairs is a secure intelligence layer for livestock systems giving governments, funders, and farmer networks real-time visibility, credibility and trust in the animals that power Africa’s economy.
Built in Africa. Powered by AWS.
Built for national-scale transformation
Livestock Affairs connects the people who carry the real responsibility for livestock — from rural kraals to national departments and financial institutions.
Government & Regulators
Strengthen traceability, biosecurity and food security with a trusted view of livestock on the ground.
Banks & Funders
Turn livestock into verifiable, financeable assets with credibility profiles and risk signals you can trust.
Insurers
Verify herds, monitor risks and reduce fraud with data that goes beyond paper declarations.
Vets & Animal Health
See disease, vaccination and herd health patterns early enough to act.
Farmer Organisations & Co-ops
Digitise member herds, reduce disputes and unlock better market access for your farmers.
Movement Control & Permits
Digitise livestock movement permits and monitor compliance in real time to reduce fraud and strengthen national oversight.
A new standard for livestock trust
In most rural and smallholder contexts, livestock value lives only in stories, notebooks and memory. That’s not enough for modern financial and regulatory systems.
Livestock Affairs introduces the Livestock Credibility Profile — a structured way to understand a farmer’s herd, behaviour and risk based on verified data, not guesswork.
- Aggregates herd size, composition and health over time
- Evaluates data consistency and completeness
- Incorporates movement, sales and event history
- Produces a clear, interpretable credibility signal for institutions
