ICAR

ICAR (International Committee for Animal Recording) is an international non-profit organization that provides standards, guidelines, and certification for animal identification and recording. While not a traditional biotechnology company, it plays a critical role in the global healthcare and life sciences ecosystem by ensuring the quality and traceability of animal-derived products and animal health data. The organization develops technical standards for electronic identification (RFID), milk recording, and genetic evaluation across various livestock species. ICAR's work supports global food safety, animal welfare, and the management of zoonotic diseases, making it a key infrastructure provider for the agricultural and veterinary sectors.
