The Challenge
Ethiopia's livestock sector faces critical threats
Recurring droughts, disease outbreaks and a lack of digital records put millions of pastoralist livelihoods at risk every year.
Disease Outbreaks
Limited veterinary access and poor traceability allow diseases to spread rapidly through herds with devastating economic impact.
No Digital Identity
Animals lack reliable identification and health records, preventing farmers from accessing insurance and financial services.
Financial Exclusion
Banks and insurers cannot assess livestock value or risk, leaving pastoralists without collateral-based loans or insurance.
Our Solution
A complete digital ecosystem for livestock management
Mobile Vet integrates geospatial intelligence, predictive analytics and digital traceability — designed for the realities of remote pastoralist life.
Bridging satellites and pastoralists.
Mobile Vet creates secure digital profiles for every animal using smart RFID-GPS ear tags, combined with satellite data and machine learning to predict threats before they become crises.
- Real-time livestock identification and movement tracking
- Satellite-based drought and vegetation monitoring
- ML-powered disease outbreak prediction
- SMS/USSD alerts for basic mobile phones
- Verified digital records for banks and insurers
- QGIS geospatial analysis integration
Platform Features
Built for pastoralist realities
Designed for low-connectivity environments without compromising on predictive power.
Geospatial Intelligence
Integration of temperature, humidity, rainfall, vegetation and drought indicators using QGIS and satellite analysis.
Predictive Analytics
Machine learning algorithms analyse historical and real-time data to predict disease outbreaks and environmental threats.
Smart RFID-GPS Tags
Digital identity for each animal enabling real-time tracking, ownership verification and complete veterinary traceability.
SMS & USSD Alerts
Timely warnings, vaccination reminders and grazing advisories delivered via basic mobile phones for universal accessibility.
Early Warning System
Risk assessments and proactive alerts help farmers and vets take preventive action before livestock losses occur.
Financial Inclusion
Trusted digital records enable banks to provide livestock-collateralised loans and insurers to offer tailored products.
How It Works
From field data to financial inclusion
Four simple steps connect satellite signals to actionable advice on a Nokia.
- 1
Tag & Identify
Each animal receives a smart RFID-GPS ear tag creating a unique digital profile with ownership and health history.
- 2
Monitor & Collect
Satellite data and field reports feed into the platform, tracking environment, health and movement patterns.
- 3
Predict & Alert
ML models identify risks and send early warnings via SMS/USSD to farmers and veterinary professionals.
- 4
Protect & Finance
Verified records unlock insurance and credit services while preventive action reduces livestock losses.
