The document provides for clarification of the powers of state bodies, veterinary institutions, local governments, animal owners, and other participants in the system.

The main goal of the changes is to make animal accounting more accurate and up-to-date, and the data in the Unified State Register of Identified Animals more complete and reliable.

The authors of the draft note that current legislation must be brought into line with ongoing processes within the Eurasian Economic Union. In particular, EAEU countries are developing common approaches to the identification, registration, and traceability of farm animals and products of animal origin.

It is planned that the national information systems of the union countries will be able to exchange data electronically.

The need for changes was discussed on June 5, 2026, at a meeting of the interdepartmental working group to identify problems in the technical regulation system. Following the meeting, the Veterinary Service for Livestock, Pastures, and Forage Development was instructed to prepare amendments, including those concerning the rights and responsibilities of animal owners.

If adopted, the law is expected to establish clearer rules for entering and updating information on identified animals, define the responsibilities of system participants, and create legal conditions for the future digital traceability of animals and veterinary documents.

The developers believe that the amendments will increase the transparency of animal registration and prepare the national system for integration with the information systems of other EAEU states.

The supporting document notes that adoption of the draft law should not lead to negative social, economic, legal, environmental, or corruption consequences.
