iLivestock is introducing a refreshed animal record management experience within the app, with updates focused on the Animal Summary and Animal Details areas used daily by sheep and cattle farmers.

The rollout brings a cleaner layout and more streamlined workflows, making it easier to access, edit, and manage livestock records in the field. While retaining the familiar functionality users already rely on, the update introduces a more structured and intuitive experience across both species.

New data fields have been added to sheep records, including origin, purchase and sale information, and price-related details, helping farmers capture more complete livestock information. Other enhancements include improved tag replacement tools, updated batch editing, and better group visibility directly from individual animal records.

The update also restructures and removes older fields where needed to support more accurate, future-ready data management across the platform.

Driven by customer feedback, the refreshed experience forms part of iLivestock’s continued focus on improving usability and supporting better livestock record keeping on farm.

The updated animal recording experience will begin rolling out from mid-May 2026.

The introduction of mandatory electronic identification (EID) for cattle in Argentina, led by SENASA, is reshaping how livestock operations approach compliance, data, and day to day decision-making. What was previously a gradual move toward traceability has now become a clear regulatory requirement, accelerating the need for practical, on farm digital solutions.

For producers, the immediate priority is straightforward: ensure compliance with national identification standards. But the implications go further. EID creates a consistent, reliable data foundation at the individual animal level, something that has historically been difficult to achieve at scale in extensive livestock systems. As a result, regulation is not only driving adoption, but also redefining what is possible on farm.

iLivestock has entered the Argentine market at a time when this shift is gaining momentum. Its integrated approach, combining RFID hardware, connected weighing systems, and cloud-based software, enables farmers to capture and manage animal data in a single platform. This supports compliance with EID requirements while also enabling more accurate tracking of performance, health, and movement.

The opportunity in Argentina is significant. As one of the world’s leading beef producers, the country plays a central role in global supply chains. At the same time, the sector is under increasing pressure to improve transparency, meet evolving market expectations, and operate more efficiently. According to the World Bank Group, Argentina’s agricultural landscape includes hundreds of thousands of producers, highlighting both the scale and the complexity of the transition now underway.

Delivering technology into this environment requires more than just product capability. It depends on strong local execution. Through its exclusive partnership with VILLANUEVA, iLivestock is working with an established distributor that understands the nuances of the Argentine market. This collaboration brings together global technology and local expertise, helping ensure that digital tools are introduced in a way that is relevant, accessible, and aligned with producer needs.

Argentina also reflects a broader strategic direction. Across international markets, regulatory changes, particularly around EID and traceability, are creating a clear demand for systems that can operate reliably across different geographies. iLivestock’s platform has been designed with this in mind, with hardware aligned to global standards and software that can be adapted to local regulatory frameworks with minimal localisation. This allows the same core system to support farmers in multiple regions while remaining compliant with national requirements.

What is happening in Argentina highlights a wider industry trend. As governments and supply chains place greater emphasis on traceability and accountability, the role of digital infrastructure on farm is becoming more central. EID is a starting point, but the real value lies in how that data is used, supporting better decisions, improving productivity, and strengthening the link between on farm practices and market expectations.

In this context, Argentina represents more than a single market launch. It is an example of how regulatory change can accelerate adoption, how partnerships can enable effective market entry, and how integrated technology can support both compliance and performance. As similar policies emerge in other regions, the pace of digital transformation in livestock farming is likely to continue increasing.

The shift is already underway.

Cotswolds-based sheep farmer and consultant Abby Cook doesn’t have time for paperwork, and she doesn’t think farming should rely on it either.

Running her flock like a business, Abby focuses on measurable performance. That means recording data as she goes—whether she’s treating a ewe, condition scoring, or managing tasks out in the field.

“I was literally skipping around like, ‘Oh, this makes my life so easy!’ If you don’t have a lot of time, it’s a lot easier to record as you go. I can catch a ewe, treat her, log it on my phone, and it’s done before I even let her go.”

By switching to real-time digital records, Abby has cut admin time, improved accuracy, and gained a clearer view of which sheep are actually delivering results.

“It becomes as essential as your sheepdogs, your truck, or your quad.”

Weighing is more than just recording a number. It drives decisions around growth, health and sale readiness. That’s why we’ve introduced new features to the iLivestock weighing section, making it easier to manage records, track performance and capture key information while animals are in the crate.

We’ve kept all existing weigh screen functionality, but added new tools to help you do more while weighing animals:

• Tap straight into the animal profile while weighing
• Add animals to specific groups as you weigh
• A new metrics view showing all your weighing data in one place
• Medicate individual animals during weighing
• View and add breeding information throughout your weighing session

iLivestock combines easy-to-use software with reading and weighing equipment

Weighing sessions stats

We’ve also added a new Quick Info area on the weigh screen. You can choose to view:

• Your selected animals summary
• A weighing graph to spot dips or trends the moment you weigh
• Session summary showing key information from your current weighing session

Performance tracking made easier with weighing charts and quick info buttons

Why change the weigh screen?

Measuring an animal’s weight plays an important role in monitoring livestock growth, identifying potential health issues and meeting market specifications. Weighing is one of the most important jobs on the farm, yet it's also one of the busiest moments in your day. We redesigned the weigh screen to reduce time spent switching between different areas of the app, allowing multiple tasks to be completed while you weigh. Making iLivestock faster, easier to use, and even more efficient on farm.

During weighing sessions, while animals are in the crate or crush, users can now update records, review performance trends, record treatments and manage breeding information within the same workflow. Helping keep information accurate and up to date while saving time on farm.
