Kenya's Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development, Mutahi Kagwe, is pushing for a nationwide rollout of the Animal Identification and Traceability System (ANITRAC) to assign digital identities to livestock, aiming to combat theft and enhance trade.

• The system will use visual ear tags and microchips to create a digital record for each animal, tracking its origin, ownership, health, and movements.
• This initiative is a direct response to recent widespread livestock theft and cattle rustling incidents.
• ANITRAC aims to make it harder for stolen animals to enter formal markets and will assist in disease surveillance and meeting international market requirements.
