CattleProof becomes the first USDA-approved blockchain program for cattle verification, improving transparency, security, and efficiency.
CattleProof, a company based in Wyoming, has made history by becoming the first USDA-approved blockchain-based Process Verified Program (PVP). This news was shared on CattleProof official LinkedIn account. This new milestone allows CattleProof to track cattle using a decentralized digital ledger.
In CattleProof, each cow is tagged with an electronic identification tag. These tags relay information concerning the condition, location, and other characteristics of the animal to an immutable blockchain. The cattle data management system makes it possible to have open and secure information on all aspects of cattle.
Moreover, the USDA’s PVP program rewards companies that have developed new, efficient methods for reaching the standards of the industry. With the use of the blockchain in cattle verification, CattleProof remains a pioneer in the entire agricultural industry. The company’s system is automated, digital, and secure, which is more reliable than conventional methods of doing things.
CattleProof has features which no other USDA approved PVP has for its clients. It is the only program employing a blockchain to authenticate the cattle. The company also employs artificial intelligence in creating photos of cattle as a second method of identification, which makes it more accurate. Further, there is the “Born in the USA” seal of assurance, meaning that cattle have been reared in the United States of America.
CattleProof Gets USDA Certification for Blockchain Use in Agriculture
Another feature is that the cows are tagged with digital certificates that point to each cow’s record. This makes it possible for anyone to get all the specifics about an individual animal in the shortest time possible. CattleProof also connects to Heartland Payments so that buyers and sellers can directly buy and sell USDA-certified cattle. It also connects with the U.S. Cattle Trace program that traces cattle movement in case of diseases.
It means that the CattleProof has complied with the regulatory requirements that are expected of such a program as approved by the USDA. This achievement was made after several years of investment in development. CattleProof provided a set of guidelines that were taken to the government as voluntary. This was instrumental in creating the necessary ground work when it comes to accepting blockchain in the field of agriculture.
Therefore, the approval of CattleProof is a breakthrough in the application of blockchain in agriculture. This proves that digital ledgers can be compatible with the high standards of the agricultural business. This is a big accomplishment for the company, and other organizations should emulate it.
As blockchain technology continues to grow in agriculture, CattleProof is leading the way. The company is proving that digital tools can improve transparency, security, and efficiency in cattle verification. With this approval, the USDA has taken a significant step toward embracing blockchain in the agricultural sector.
