Livestock Management Software for UAE Farms
Track every animal in your UAE holding individually - identification, weight, treatments, breeding, movements - in one platform built for the operational reality of sheep, goats, camels, and cattle running alongside each other, against ADAFSA registration requirements.
Why Spreadsheets Stop Working at Scale
ADAFSA mandates individual livestock identification through TAMM (Regulation No. 4 of 2010), and untagged livestock carries criminal penalties. Most UAE commercial holdings still run on a mix of paper books, phone notes, and disconnected spreadsheets that cannot meet that standard reliably.
Individual records become invisible inside a flock total
When 1,200 sheep are tracked as one number, the underperforming 200 stay invisible. ADAFSA inspection expects per-animal records - identification, treatment, movement - not aggregate counts.
TAMM tags and farm records drift apart
Ear tags get applied through TAMM under ADAFSA Regulation No. 4 of 2010, but the link between a TAMM record and the animal's actual treatment, weight, and movement history is rebuilt from memory whenever someone asks.
Withdrawal periods get tracked by memory
Federal Law No. 9 of 2017 on veterinary products carries penalties of AED 10,000 to 500,000 for non-compliance, including withdrawal-period violations. Tracking those by hand against treatment dates is a recipe for unintentional non-compliance.
Camel records are nobody's standard product
The UAE has around 476,000 camels across the country - a population most off-the-shelf livestock platforms simply do not model. Cameliers run on paper because nothing built elsewhere fits.
A Livestock Platform Built for UAE Holdings
Custom-built for sheep, goats, camels, and cattle running side by side under ADAFSA registration.
Individual animal records, every species
Per-animal records with TAMM identification, weight history, treatment events, breeding records, parentage, movement permits - tracked individually across sheep, goats, camels, and cattle in one operation.
ADAFSA + MOCCAE record alignment
Records held in the structure ADAFSA's NLITS expects and MOCCAE's animal-movement permit process requires. Inspector-ready on demand rather than assembled under pressure.
Field capture that works offline
Field workers and the visiting vet capture identification scans, treatments, condition photos, and movement events on a phone in the pen with no signal, syncing on reconnection.
Performance per animal, not per flock
Growth curves per animal, breeding outcomes per ewe or doe, finishing windows by line - so culling and finishing decisions run on data rather than visual judgement across a 1,000-strong flock.
Camels recorded across the UAE in 2024 (MOCCAE), alongside roughly 5 million sheep and goats - a livestock base most commercial platforms were never designed to handle as individuals.
Records That Hold Up to ADAFSA Inspection
Per-animal records, tied to TAMM identification, with treatment and movement history retained as continuous data rather than reconstructed from notes.

Build a Livestock Platform Around Your Holding
A short call surfaces whether a custom build makes sense for your livestock operation. If a platform fits, we proceed to a fixed-price Discovery Phase. If it doesn't, you save a procurement cycle either way.
What a Custom Livestock Platform Actually Does
Operational specifics, not feature bullets.
What Changes When the Holding Runs on Purpose-Built Software
ADAFSA Regulation No. 4 of 2010 mandates livestock identification across Abu Dhabi, administered through the TAMM platform. Untagged animals carry criminal penalties - making individual identification a regulatory floor, not a software feature.
Questions Owners Ask Before Committing
The specifics behind a custom livestock platform for a UAE holding.
How does the platform handle TAMM identification and the ADAFSA livestock register?
TAMM identification is treated as the primary key for the animal record. When an ear tag is applied through TAMM under ADAFSA Regulation No. 4 of 2010, that identification becomes the anchor every subsequent event hangs off - treatments, weights, breeding events, movement permits, mortality. The platform does not replace ADAFSA's register; it sits alongside it, mirroring the tag-as-identity logic the regulator expects.
How does it cope with sheep, goats, camels, and cattle in the same operation?
Each species has its own record fields - lambing intervals for ewes, racing weight history for camels, lactation cycles for cattle, kidding records for goats - while sharing the same identification, treatment, and movement spine. The flock view, herd view, and individual-animal view all run on the same data model. Camels in particular are modelled as a first-class species rather than bolted on as an afterthought.
How is the veterinary medicine register kept aligned with Federal Law No. 9 of 2017?
Every treatment event captures the product (referenced to the MOCCAE registered list), dose, route of administration, the animal it was given to, the date and time, and the prescribing vet. From that single capture, the platform derives the medicine register entry, the per-animal treatment record, and the withdrawal-period state that determines when the animal is cleared for supply. MOCCAE's Resolution 27 of 2026 requires three years of veterinary case record retention - the platform retains by default.
Can it issue and track animal-movement permits through MOCCAE?
The platform does not replace MOCCAE's official movement-permit process - that runs through the federal system. What it does do is capture the permit reference against the animals involved, the origin and destination holdings, and the movement date. When ADAFSA or MOCCAE asks about an animal's movement history, the answer is one query, not a chase across emails and WhatsApp.
How does the field app work in the pen with no signal?
We build the field app offline-first. Identification scans, treatment events, weight captures, condition photos, and movement events get recorded on a phone in the pen with no connectivity, then sync to the master record on reconnection. Camel paddocks and remote sheep pens on the edge of holdings are the normal case - the app is designed around that, not adapted to it.
Can we migrate existing records from paper books, FarmERP, or Allflex software?
Yes. Active livestock identification (TAMM tag numbers, premise ID, species, date of birth where known), closed treatment events, breeding records, and movement history are migrated as part of the build. If the holding already runs FarmERP, AfiFarm, or Allflex Livestock Manager, we extract from those systems; if records are on paper, we digitise them. Parallel running for 4-6 weeks means the holding never operates without a system of record.
What about the Eid Al-Adha demand spike for sheep and goats?
Eid Al-Adha drives a concentrated demand spike for sacrificial sheep and goats across the UAE every year. The platform supports the planning side - finishing animals to weight by a target date, tracking which animals are cleared for supply against their withdrawal periods, and managing the surge in buyer enquiries against availability. The operational discipline that protects the rest of the year is what makes the Eid window manageable.
Where do our livestock records live, and who owns them?
The platform is deployed in your environment, your records are your data, and the source code remains yours throughout the engagement. You can host it on AWS, Azure, or a UAE-based provider depending on regulatory preference. No vendor lock-in, no per-animal SaaS pricing, no shared multi-tenant data store.
How Each Role Sees the Platform
Different friction for different people - the platform earns its place when it reduces friction for each one.
Holding Owner
One live view across every species, every animal, every commitment. Decisions on real data rather than the shepherd's recollection. Commercial performance visible per animal, per flock, per buyer.
Farm Manager
Daily operations on one dashboard - which animals are in withdrawal, which need treatment, which are ready for finishing, which are owed back to a buyer. Less time rebuilding the picture, more time running the holding.
Field Workers & Visiting Vet
Capture once on a phone in the pen, even offline. TAMM tag scans, treatments, condition photos, movement events go into the record at the point they happen. No end-of-day rebuild, no lost notes, no Federal Law 9/2017 risk from undocumented treatments.
Compliance & Audit
ADAFSA inspection, MOCCAE movement audits, and any retailer or hospitality-buyer audit answered from continuous records rather than pre-audit reconstruction. The same gaps don't recur because findings are tracked to closure.
Questions We Get Asked
How long does a custom livestock platform take to build?
Typical timeline is 10-14 weeks from the end of Discovery to go-live for a mid-size mixed holding. Individual livestock records and field mobile capture are usually live in 4-6 weeks; movement, breeding, and finishing modules layer in over the following 2-3 months.
Does it replace TAMM and ADAFSA's own livestock register?
No. TAMM remains the official identification channel under ADAFSA Regulation No. 4 of 2010 and that doesn't change. The custom platform sits alongside it - using TAMM identification as the primary key for the animal's full operational record (weight, treatments, breeding, movements) on the holding.
Can it handle camel-specific records that off-the-shelf software does not model?
Yes. Camels are modelled as a first-class species alongside sheep, goats, and cattle - with the species-specific fields cameliers actually need (racing weight history, lineage records for breeding camels, training events for racers). The UAE camel population of 476,082 is a meaningful operational reality the platform is built around, not adapted to.
How does it track withdrawal periods to stay aligned with Federal Law No. 9 of 2017?
Every treatment event records the product (referenced to the MOCCAE registered list), dose, route, animal, date, and prescribing vet. The withdrawal period is calculated from the treatment date and applied to the animal automatically. The animal moves to a cleared-for-supply state only when the withdrawal period has elapsed - no judgement calls, no late-night recollections, no AED 500,000 risk.
What does a custom livestock platform cost?
The Discovery Phase is a fixed AED 42,000. A mid-size mixed UAE holding (sheep, goats, camels, and the field mobile app) typically sees a build between AED 320,000 and AED 580,000. Larger operations or multi-site holdings with deeper retailer-integration scope run higher. The Discovery Report includes a fixed-price build proposal.
Can it integrate with our existing identification hardware (Allflex, Datamars, Gallagher)?
Yes. Identification readers (Allflex Plus, Datamars Aleis, Gallagher TSi-2, Tru-Test ID5000) integrate via standard EID protocols. Weight captures from connected weigh-scales flow into the per-animal record automatically. Decision on which hardware to use happens during Discovery based on what the holding already runs.
How does it work for the visiting vet who is on the holding once a week?
The vet has their own login and the field app. Treatments they administer are captured on their phone at the point of treatment, attributed to them by login, and become part of the animal's medicine record immediately. The vet sees the animal's full treatment history - their previous visits and the farm worker's between-visit observations - in one view. MOCCAE Resolution 27 of 2026's three-year retention is automatic.
Can we start with sheep and goats and add camels and cattle later?
Yes - and this is often the sensible path. Most builds start with the largest species group (typically sheep and goats), get the identification, treatment, and movement disciplines embedded across 4-8 weeks, then add camels and any cattle as later phases. The Discovery Report maps the phasing explicitly.
