Holding and stock Where the organism is raised and what is raised.
Cultivated unit
A crop stand on a field or an animal or herd on a holding.
Unit identity
The crop or animal with its species, variety or breed and its holding.
- Which species and variety or breed is cultivated, and on which holding or field?
- Is the unit an individual animal, a herd or flock, or a crop stand?
Origin
Where seed, plants or animals came from.
- From which supplier, lot or birth holding did the seed, plants or animals come?
- Are movements of animals between holdings recorded?
Season and husbandry What was done to the organism over its cycle.
Cultivation cycle
Sowing or birth, growth stages, inputs and treatments.
Inputs and treatments
Fertiliser, plant protection products, feed and veterinary treatments applied.
- Which fertilisers, plant protection products or veterinary medicines were applied, and when?
- Were withdrawal or pre-harvest intervals respected before harvest or slaughter?
Health and condition
Disease, pest pressure and welfare observations.
- Which diseases, pests or welfare issues were observed, and how were they handled?
- Was any notifiable disease reported to the veterinary or plant health authority?
Harvest and output What the cultivation yielded.
Harvest
Harvested quantity and quality, or animals and products sold or slaughtered.
Harvest record
The date, quantity and quality of output and where it went.
- When was the crop harvested or the animal product collected, and in what quantity?
- Which lot or buyer received the output, so it can be traced?

What it is Filled
A cultivated organism is a plant, animal, fungus or other organism raised under human management for food, feed, fibre or other use, described as a crop stand or animal (or herd) on a farm, through seasons, inputs and harvest. Wild organisms and the variety or breed as a genetic type are outside it; the subject is the managed living stock on a holding.
Why it exists Filled
Crop stands and farm animals raised under management, through seasons, inputs and harvest.
Distinguishing features Filled
- The subject is a managed living stock on a holding, not a wild organism or a taxon.
- Distinct from crop variety and livestock breed, which describe genetic types rather than the stock being raised.
- Records follow the cultivation cycle from sowing or birth to harvest or slaughter, with inputs and treatments.
- Animal welfare and food safety rules attach to the organism, unlike to land or equipment.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Recommend or apply medicines or plant protection products outside their authorized use.
- Hide or delay the report of a notifiable disease.
- Falsify animal identification, movement or treatment records.
- Operate machinery or feeding systems in ways that endanger animals or people.
- Treat animals as mere inputs and ignore their welfare in recommendations.
Only with a human decision
- Culling, slaughter or euthanasia decisions.
- Prescribing veterinary medicines.
- Reporting suspected notifiable disease to the authority.
May
- Record sowing, births, treatments, observations and harvests for a farmer.
- Advise on timing of field work and treatments from weather and crop stage data.
- Flag missed withdrawal periods, overdue treatments or signs of disease.
- Trace output lots back to the field or animals they came from.
Moral aspects Filled
- Farm animals are sentient, and their welfare depends on how they are kept and treated.
- Food safety for consumers depends on correct treatment and traceability records.
- Farming inputs affect soil, water and biodiversity beyond the farm.
Who is affected
- Farm animals
- Farmers and farm workers
- Consumers of farm products
- Neighbours and downstream water users
Owners Filled
Steward
The farmer or holding operator who keeps the organisms owns the cultivation and husbandry records.
Master systems
- National animal identification and movement registers
- Farm management records
- Agricultural payment parcel registers

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Filled
Identity and identifiers required Filled
- Farm animals are identified by official ear tags, boluses or electronic identifiers registered in national animal registers.
- Crop stands are identified by holding, field or parcel identifier and season.
- Holdings are identified by their official holding or herd number.
Direct properties required Filled
- Live weight of animals in kilograms, and body condition score on the scale in use.
- Age or birth date, and growth stage of crops on a recognized scale such as BBCH.
- Planted or grazed area in hectares and stocking density in animals per hectare.
- Yield in tonnes per hectare or litres of milk per animal per period.
- Applied input quantities in kilograms or litres per hectare or per animal.
Recognition required Filled
- Crops are recognized by plant form, leaves, flowers and planting pattern; animals by species, breed traits and markings.
- Ear tags, brands or electronic tags confirm an animal's identity.
- Volunteer plants and weeds can be confused with the crop; similar animals in a herd need tag reading.
Capabilities and actions required Filled
- Grows and develops through stages that determine when work and harvest are possible.
- Animals move, feed, reproduce and respond to handling, which affects safe interaction.
Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Large animals can injure handlers by kicking, crushing or goring.
- Zoonotic diseases can pass from animals to people.
- Residues of medicines or plant protection products can enter food if intervals are not respected.
Standards and interfaces required Filled
- AgroVoc and the BBCH growth stage scale for describing crops.
- ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 for radio-frequency identification of animals.
- ISO 11783 (ISOBUS) for data exchange with farm machinery.
Context of use required Filled
- Found on farms, ranches, greenhouses, aquaculture sites and urban gardens.
- Subject to animal welfare, veterinary, plant health and food safety law.
Sources Filled
- Terrestrial Animal Health Code, World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH)
- AGROVOC Multilingual Thesaurus, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- ISO 11784 Radio frequency identification of animals, International Organization for Standardization
