Abstract

It is known that Blockchain technology is widely used in cryptocurrency transactions, the technology has become popular with Bitcoin but recently, it has been applied in many areas, including the animal sanitary control. It can be said that Blockchain is an immutable ledger, where systems can store transactions, documents, history, countless data generated in any process. In Brazil, an animal sanitary control platform called Plataforma de Defesa Sanitaria Animal (PDSA-RS) was recently proposed and is widely used in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Actually, the PDSA-RS uses a centered server with relevant information for the animal sanitary control process. This work presents the process of defining and integrating the PDSA-RS with a private Blockchain managed by a software architecture. The main goal of this integration is to give traceability, immutability and transparency in the existing process and the data generated in the certification of poultry establishments that are part of the animal sanitary control. In the evaluation of the integration process, it was possible to observe that it the blockchain extension offered persistence, anonymity and auditability of the information related to the animal sanitary control.
