LITS — national livestock identification & traceability.
The open standard and platform a nation runs as its own livestock registry: the lifetime identity of every animal, the permits for every movement, the health events and certificates — owned by the State, integrated by industry, verifiable by anyone.
A single sovereign registry, open to every vendor.
Each nation runs one registry on its own government domain. Producers' apps, abattoirs and saleyards connect as equal clients over a published API. The registry is the source of truth; the public can verify anything it issues.
- State-owned registry on
*.gov.<cc>— the single source of truth. - Open API + conformance mark — any vendor integrates, none is privileged.
- Public, no-login verification as the trust anchor.
The lifetime of an animal, as a trusted record.
Captured once, by whoever is closest to the event — and trusted everywhere after.
Identity
A lifetime national ID per animal, bound to keeper and holding — the spine every other record hangs on.
Movement permits
Permitted movements between holdings, saleyards and abattoirs, gated by veterinary and zone rules.
Health & certificates
Vaccinations, disease events and registry-signed certificates — each one publicly verifiable.
Every certificate, verifiable by anyone.
A movement permit or health certificate carries a token anyone can check — a border officer, a buyer, an export market — with no login and no account. That public endpoint is what turns a database row into trust.
- Registry-signed, tamper-evident certificates.
- Public verification — VALID / REVOKED / UNKNOWN.
- The same proof works across every national instance.

The State is the controller; Dzinza operates as processor with escrow, export-on-exit and right-to-in-house.
Verifiable
A public trust anchor anyone can check — the property that makes a national record credible abroad.
Run LITS as your national registry.
We work with veterinary authorities to stand up a sovereign instance, integrate industry, and hand over the standard.
