Animal data management

Abstract

Animal data is stored in memory accessible to a server. The server allows users to access the animal data, such as across a communication network. In some embodiments an identifier for an animal is stored with animal information. The identifier can be used to control access to animal records and to quickly locate animal information associated with a particular animal.
