Translations:Animal and Farmer Identification/5/en
- At least 50% of farmers have mobile telephones which have unique numbers. The preference is to use a livestock owner's mobile telephone number during the registration process.
- For those farmers without a mobile phone, a different number may be used. Owners can be registered with an optional identifier, such as:
- their Driver's Licence: SIM (12 digits)
- their local identifier (8 digits or less), such as an existing ID number from the local cooperative or a local farmer id scheme.
- If this optional identifier is used, they do not have to confirm the registration as would happen for those farmers registering with a phone number.
