BuffScan Mobile Application: light to the new era of animal biometric identification in Thailand
In recent years, the need for effective animal biometric identification has become increasingly pertinent, especially in Thailand. The BuffScan mobile application emerges as a revolutionary tool designed to address these challenges, utilizing cutting-edge technology to facilitate the precise identification buffalo. By harnessing the power of biometric data, such as muzzle print or nose print facial recognition and unique physical characteristics, BuffScan not only enhances monitoring efforts but also fosters better conservation strategies. BuffScan sets a new standard for animal management in the new century.
