Sumario:In October 2018 in Argentina, the Ministry of Agroindustry of the Province of Buenos Aires (MAIBA) implemented the Single Equine Document (DUE) as a new individual identification system for all equines located in the Province of Buenos Aires. With this new identification system, the old markings and signals system is replaced by the implantation of a single-code microchip in the equine’s neck and an identification document for the horse and its owners. The implementation of this system involved generating several official registries, for which MAIBA needed to develop and implement an IT Management System for the DUE. This Argentine development generates a contribution in equine control by government organizations and facilitates information to veterinarians through mobile devices. This article discusses the most important details of the development carried out and shows the scope it has had so far. It presents statistics of the use of the application by different regions of the Province of Buenos Aires.
