LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a system for managing livestock and, more particularly, for managing livestock for use as a bankable commodity, as investments or in traditional \ rituals.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A livestock, primarily cattle, farming industry is a primary contributor of beef, dairy products, leather and several other products to sectors of a country’s economy and, as such, it fulfils an important role in the economy. In addition, in many countries, the ownership of livestock, particularly cattle, is indicative of the wealth and social standing of a person. Livestock is also used in several cultural or traditional rituals such as to mourn the passing of a relative, to celebrate a birth or coming of age or to pay a bride price or dowry.
3 wOig . =+2008/003 35
Actual farming of livestock can be area extensive where the animals are allowed to range almost freely over a vast tract of land or area intensive where the animals are confined to pens or cages and are fed processed feed. An example of a livestock area intensive farm would be a cattle feedlot. In either case livestock farming tends to be labour intensive for the animals need to monitored continuously to ensure that they remain in a healthy condition and that they are feeding or being fed properly.
Furthermore, free ranging livestock must be watched to ensure that they do not wander off or fall prey to stock thieves.
Despite any innate, investorial or cultural desires to own livestock increasing urbanisation makes such ownership impossible because of the labour intensive retail of livestock farming as well as the tracts of land needed to farm livestock. One undesirable result of the above-mentioned difficulty is a decrease in the number of livestock farmers and a concomitant decrease in the numbers of livestock farmed. This increases the prices of leather goods, of staples such as dairy products and meat, and also of animals used in cultural or traditional rituals.
In this specification the term “livestock” is intended to include, with its scope, all domesticated animals that are farmed such as cattle, including specific breeds of cattle, goats, sheep, chickens, fish and crustacea, and non-domesticated animals that are retained on game farms such as antelope, elephants, rhinoceros and predators such as lion, leopard and cheetah and the term “farm” is intended to include conventional farms, terrestrial or aquatic, where animals are reared and nurtured and game farms where wild animals are, largely, left to their own devices with minimal interference. The term “livestock” is meant to also extend to virtual livestock, in which the livestock is not actual, : physical livestock, but rather virtually created livestock defined in a similar manner and thus having similar characteristics.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of this invention to provide a system for managing live or virtual livestock and, more particularly but not exclusively, for managing livestock for use as a bankable commodity, an investment or in traditional rituals and for investment purposes.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
Embodiments of the invention will be described below by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawing which is a schematic representation of one embodiment of a livestock management system according to the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with a first aspect of this invention there is provided a livestock management system 10. The system 10 comprises a number of livestock animals 12.
As indicated above, these animals are either virtual animals or actual, live animals maintained on at least one farm 14. The present invention applies equally to both types of animals.
The system 10 further comprises a number of subscribers 16 which have an interest in one or more of the livestock animals 12. At least one processor 18 is provided, the processor 18 being coupled to at least one database 20 in which details of each subscriber and their interest in the livestock animals is recorded. The processor 18 also has access to a database 22 in which information relating to each livestock animal is recorded. The processor 18 is arranged to supply information, to a subscriber 16, of each livestock animal 12 in which the subscriber 16 has an interest, and to raise a fee against each subscriber 16 in respect of maintaining the subscriber’s interest.
There is further provided for a subscriber's interest in the livestock 12 to be calculable on the basis of a financial interest the subscriber 16 has in the management system 10. In an example embodiment, the financial interest may be directly convertible into actual livestock animals on the happening of a predetermined event. The predetermined event may be a traditional ritual or event for which at least one livestock animal is required.
The ritual or event may, for example, be selected from the group comprising: providing lobola or a bride price, celebrating a marriage or other function, or for catering for mourners at a funeral. The convertible livestock may be selected from a pool of livestock according to one or more particular traits such as gender, colour, breed and the like. Alternatively, there is provided for the predetermined event to be a realisation, by a subscriber 16, of all or part of an interest in the livestock animals 12.
There is further provided for the information relating to each livestock animal 12 on the database 22 to include any one or more of the age, gender, colour, dipping history, inoculation history, fecundity details, estimated value and location. In an example embodiment, the database 22 may include a representation of the animal, such as a photograph.
In an example embodiment, the subscriber 16 may be provided with detailed information by the processor 18, either on request or on the happening of a predetermined event, with the provided details relating directly to the interest of the subscriber 16 in the
: livestock 12. This communication of information from the processor 18 may take place in any one of a number of ways, with, in an example embodiment, the information being communicated in an electronic format by means of an electronic communications network 24. In an alternative embodiment, the electronic communications network 24 may take the form of a wireless communications network, which allows the details to be provided to the subscriber 16 shortly after it is generated by the processor 18. The details may be supplied by means of a Short Message Service (SMS) or Multimedia
Message Service (MMS) message sent to a mobile telephone associated with each subscriber 16. Alternatively, the processor 18 hosts a website, with the network 24 taking the form of the Internet over which the subscriber 16 may view the website.
The present invention also allows a subscriber 16 to reduce or terminate an interest and request delivery of as many livestock animals as entitled to by virtue of the value by which the interest is reduced. The subscriber may select said animals from details provided. Upon selection of one or more livestock animals by a subscriber 16, the processor 18 checks to determine whether the subscriber's interest is sufficient to satisfy ) the request. If so satisfied, the processor 18 may authorise the delivery or collection of the livestock 12 and deduct the value thereof from the subscriber's interest. In an example embodiment, the subscriber 16 may select specific livestock animals, with the details provided to the subscriber 16 to facilitating a selection to be tailored to specific selection parameters specified by the subscriber.
The present invention also provides for the number of livestock animals in which a subscriber has an interest to vary depending on market fluctuations.
There is also provided for the system 10 to calculate a dividend for each subscriber based on statistical information relating to the offspring and growth of animals in which the subscriber 16 has an interest. The dividend may be payable to the subscriber 16 in "money or livestock, alternatively the dividend may be retained within the system 10 and increase the subscriber's interest.
In one version of the invention, the system 10 provides a livestock endowment policy or any other form of regular contributions such as unit trusts or a regular savings plan where a subscriber can make regular contributions to an interest. At a predetermined
Co | 10 maturity date, the subscriber will become entitled to redeem an interest in money or livestock.
In accordance with a second aspect of this invention there is provided for the subscribers to contribute towards a fund. A portion of the fund, which corresponds to a specific subscriber's interest arising from said contributions, is available for use to purchase at least one livestock animal thus redeeming said subscriber's interest in said portion.
The subscriber's interest is redeemable on the happening of a specified event such as, for example, a marriage in which case the livestock animal or animals may be a bride price or lobola, or the passing away of a relative or loved one, as described above, or a desire on the part of the subscriber to realise all of part of an interest contributed to the fund.
As described above, the livestock may be selected from a pool of livestock according to one or more particular traits such as gender, colour, breed and the like. As also described above, each subscriber, at regular intervals or on the making of a query, may be provided with details, on request or on the happening of a predetermined event, of a particular subscriber's interest. These details may include an indication of the monetary value of the subscriber's interest and/or livestock animals the subscriber's interest entities the subscriber to.
As also described above, the details may be provided to a subscriber by any one of a number of well known ways, including SMS and/or MMS messages sent to a mobile telephone, or on an Internet viewable website.
There is further provided for a subscriber to reduce or terminate an interest and request delivery of as many livestock animals as entitled to by virtue of the value by which the subscriber's interest is reduced. Again, the subscriber may select said animals from details provided. There is also provided for, on selection of one or more livestock animals by a subscriber, a processor to check to determine whether the subscriber's interest is sufficient to satisfy the request and, if so satisfied, to authorise the delivery or collection of the livestock and deduct the value thereof from the subscriber's interest.
