The animal husbandry department of an Indian state has stepped up work to provide health cards to cows.
In Tamil Nadu the project is going ahead on a pilot basis in seven districts; health cards are being issued to 120,000 cows.
A unique 12-digit number is tagged on the ear of the animal. Details of the cow, quantity of milk yield, name of owner and her cellphone number will be uploaded.
A copy of the health card containing all the details are given to cow rearers too.
