Tracking Animal Health in Zoos Using Blockchain Technology

Animal welfare issues occasionally make headlines and are a topic of continuous improvement. Inadequate living conditions and lack of healthcare have led to constant violations of the Animal Welfare Acts in zoos. This can be improved by using a system to accurately manage crucial animal health data and make it accessible and shared between facilities. The  aim of this paper is  to design a Hyperledger Fabric based system, to seamlessly share zoo animal healthcare data by enabling access between zoos and conservation facilities. Wishing to ensure that accurate healthcare data and medical history of the animals capturing at any time by the network peers. The system will provide information to the  Regulatory authorities limiting the instances of violations in healthcare management of animals. This system has the potential to help facilities make better-informed treatment decisions while improving animal welfare.
