FAO Georgia welcomed a delegation from Turkmenistan on 15-19 September for a study visit aimed at sharing Georgia’s experience with its National Animal Identification and Traceability System (NAITS) and the linked Farm Management System (FMS). The tour concluded with a visit to the Tbilisi State Laboratory and a veterinary clinic, where discussions highlighted the importance of animal health and biosecurity. Georgia is the first country in the region to introduce an electronic system for animal identification and traceability. Today, customized versions of Georgia’s NAITS are successfully operating in 14 countries (excluding Georgia) at 5 continents. Building on the knowledge gained during this visit, Turkmenistan is expected to develop its own national strategy and join this expanding network.
