iHerd – A Unified Platform for Livestock Health, Trading & Veterinary Access
iHerd, developed by Chimertech Pvt Ltd, is India’s first integrated digital platform for livestock healthcare, disease diagnostics, responsible cattle trading, and doorstep veterinary services. Designed to empower farmers with technology and trust, iHerd blends smart diagnostics, real-time health tracking, and digital outreach into a connected ecosystem that supports sustainable, profitable, and ethical dairying
Platform Highlights
1. Livestock Health Records
Each animal is digitally profiled using QR/RFID codes, enabling farmers and vets to access:
• Vaccination and deworming records
• Reproductive cycles and insemination history
• Milk yield tracking
• Mastitis and disease history
This traceable health record supports better treatment, breeding, and sale decisions.
2. Smart Diagnostics Integration
iHerd integrates seamlessly with Chimertech’s IoT-based veterinary devices:
• QuadMastest for reagent-free mastitis detection
• NIRAMM for real-time milk quality and health monitoring
Test results are synced and visualized for veterinarians and farmers via a mobile-friendly dashboard.
3. PashuPartner Field Network
The iHerd platform powers Chimertech’s PashuPartner franchise, a fleet of trained field workers on mobile vet units (E-trikes) equipped with diagnostics, medicines, and cold chain support. It ensures:
• Case assignment based on location
• 6–24 hour vet response time
• Feedback and treatment closure for each service
This strengthens last-mile access to animal healthcare.
4. Tele-Veterinary Consultations
Veterinary access is enabled via:
• Voice and video consultation
• Remote prescriptions through AI-aided vet systems
• Case tracking and treatment compliance logs
This supports expert decision-making even in underserved geographies.
5. Cattle Trading Module (Buy & Sell Verified Livestock)
To prevent misinformation, malpractices, and disease spread in traditional cattle markets, iHerd introduces a verified cattle trading marketplace that prioritizes transparency and health assurance.
Key Features:
• Digital Cattle ID & Health Certificate: Only animals with updated health records and recent diagnostic history (from iHerd or vet-certified) can be listed.
• Farmer-to-Farmer or Vet-to-Farmer Sales: Secure, location-aware listings allow direct or assisted trading through registered PashuPartners.
• Breed & Productivity Filters: Buyers can filter cattle based on breed, age, milk yield, calving record, and price.
• AI Price Benchmarking: The system suggests region-specific price ranges based on yield, breed, and market demand.
• Digital KYC & Ownership Transfer: Ensures traceable, legally compliant livestock ownership transitions.
This module supports ethical, healthy, and verified livestock exchange, reducing disease risk and increasing farmer confidence.

Conclusion
iHerd is not just an app but a complete livestock intelligence and commerce platform. It transforms how Indian farmers raise, treat, and trade their animals—with confidence, traceability, and care.
