How U-LITS Works
Getting started with U-LITS is straightforward. Whether you are a farmer, veterinary officer, or government official, here is how the system works for you.
Step 1: Register Your Account
Create your account on the U-LITS web portal at u-lits.com or download the mobile app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Your account is assigned a role (Farmer, SCVO, DVO, Trader, etc.) which determines your access level and capabilities within the system.
Step 2: Register Your Farm
Create a complete farm profile including farm name, type (dairy, beef, or mixed), geographic location (district, sub-county, parish, village), GPS coordinates, and owner details including National ID Number (NIN). Each farm receives a unique Livestock Holding Code (LHC) in the format UG-{district}-{sub-county}-{id} for government identification.
Step 3: Register Your Animals
Register each animal with an Electronic ID (E-ID) and Visual ID (V-ID) ear tag. Record the species (cattle, goat, sheep, or pig), breed, sex, date of birth, colour, weight, and parentage. Upload photos for visual identification. For large herds, use batch registration. Each registered animal generates a unique QR code for instant lookup.
Step 4: Track Health & Events
Log all activities for your animals using 23+ event types: vaccinations, disease tests, treatments, pregnancies, births, weight checks, milk production, and more. All data is timestamped, GPS-tagged, and linked to the specific animal for a complete audit trail.
Step 5: Apply for Movement Permits
When you need to move animals between locations, apply for a digital movement permit through a simple 4-step process. Select the animals, specify the route, choose the permit type (sale, slaughter, breeding, grazing, or exhibition), and submit. Your SCVO reviews the application, the DVO approves it, and you receive a digital permit with QR-verified checkpoints.
Step 6: Access Markets & Analytics
List animals for sale on the integrated marketplace with verified health records and provenance. Browse analytics dashboards to understand your farm’s performance — population trends, health coverage, production metrics, and financial data.
For Veterinary Officers
DVOs and SCVOs have additional capabilities including district-wide livestock monitoring, vaccination campaign coordination, farm inspection management, movement permit approval workflows, disease surveillance dashboards, and district-level drug stock management. The offline-capable mobile app is designed for field use.
