There was a meeting of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine and the State Enterprise "Agency for Animal Identification and Registration" with the heads of structural subdivisions of regional military administrations, which provide functions on agro-industrial development. During the meeting, participants discussed algorithms of identification and registration of animals and obtaining an extract from the Unified State Register of Animals.

During the presentation, the Agency drew attention to the fact that the algorithm of identification and registration of animals for individuals and legal entities are different. However, the timing of this procedure is the same - up to 20 days.

One of the key points for farms - the procedure for issuing and receiving a statement from the Unified State Register of Animals in paper and electronic form and a list of information to be submitted in the application for the document. As explained in the Agency, the State Agrarian Register displays current information on available animals. But the functionality of the State Agrarian Register does not provide an extract from the Unified State Register of Animals. Therefore, the animal owner must apply to the General Directorate of the State Consumer Service at the place of registration.

An effective mechanism of traceability of agricultural animals and animal products in Ukraine is a modern system of animal identification through the Unified State Register of Animals.


The Unified State Register of Animals is an electronic database of identified farm animals (cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats), their owners, farms, movement, slaughter, disposal, death, mortality of such animals, in which legal entities and individuals who breed and sell animals must submit information.
