1. An animal data management system comprising:
- a server arranged to register an animal by receiving animal data including a first biometric identifier;
a memory arranged to store the animal data and the first biometric identifier in a database contained therein and associating the first biometric identifier with the animal data in the database, and to receive information pertaining to the animal and store the information in the database;
a user computing system arranged to send a request including a second biometric identifier to the server;
a processor included in the server arranged to search the database to identify the first biometric identifier as a match to the second biometric identifier; and

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.
