Livestock Data Rights Platform
Digital notary infrastructure for Australia's livestock export industries — turning records that already exist into tamper-proof, shareable credentials that buyers, banks and regulators can trust.
Overview
Australia's livestock industries are large and export-heavy — roughly 77% of beef and 82% of lamb production leaves the country each year. Rising non-tariff barriers, biosecurity rules and certification requirements are estimated to cost Australian agrifood exporters billions annually, and trusted, verifiable data is one of the clearest ways to reduce that cost.
This platform doesn't ask producers to start from scratch. It applies a digital-notary approach on top of infrastructure that already exists — NLIS tags and National Vendor Declarations — turning those records into tamper-proof, shareable credentials for buyers, banks, saleyards and regulators.
Who it's for
- Farmers, breeders and stud societies
- Saleyards and livestock agents
- Processors and exporters
- Agribusiness lenders and insurers
Three MVPs, built on infrastructure that already exists
Show Animal Passport
A digital identity and credential for exhibition animals — pedigree, health and performance records combined into one verifiable record.
Livestock Batch Verification
Bulk scanning and certification for consignment lots moving through saleyards, processors and export channels.
Producer Trust Profile
A farm-level integrity scorecard built from existing compliance records — LPA status and National Vendor Declaration history.
Sydney Royal Easter Show, April 2026
The Sydney Royal Easter Show — Australia's largest agricultural exhibition, run by the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW — is the proposed first test for this platform. Exhibitors already need health declarations and pedigree records to compete; the pilot validates the Show Animal Passport and batch-verification workflows with real exhibitors, breed societies and regulators on the ground, rather than in a lab.
