Ecosystem livestock for an efficient cattle supply chain

The cattle supply chain is vital for protein consumption but suffers inefficiencies and disease risks, with manual records and incomplete identification hindering production, meeting only 65% of demand in Indonesia. We propose the E-LI digital platform coupled with PiTag smart ear-tags integrating RFID, NFC, QR codes, and unique IDs for real-time animal tracking. E-LI centralizes livestock data, enables health monitoring, connects farmers to markets, and serves stakeholders from extension workers to consumers. Pilot results suggest 40% time savings, 98% data accuracy, 50% disease reduction, and up to 20% income gains, supporting sustainable and traceable livestock management.
