The VAS Developer API is designed to align with industry standards, including NAAB National Association of Animal Breeders. www.naab-css.org and ICAR
International Committee for Animal Recording (ICAR) is a global organization focused on the standardization of animal identification, recording, genetic evaluation, and data management.. However, due to the customizable nature of VAS applications, we cannot guarantee that our users' data comply with industry standards.
