Livestock owners, field veterinarians,para-veterinary workers and government departments often lack a unified, realtime mechanism to detect emerging animal-health risks at the village, block and district levels. Disease symptoms may be reported late, diagnostic facilities may be distant, vaccination and treatment histories may be incomplete, and information from farms, veterinary dispensaries, laboratories, vaccination drives and surveillance programmes may remain fragmented. These gaps can delay containment, increase livestock mortality and productivity loss, raise the risk of zoonotic transmission, and affect farmers’ incomes. The challenge is to create a practical system that enables early warning, rapid reporting, risk assessment, preventive action, referral and coordinated response,
