Ikhola yenkomo enenombolo plate iyisisetshenziswa esikhethekile nesisebenzayo esiklanyelwe ukuhlinzeka ngokuhlonza nokulawula inkomo ngayinye endaweni yezolimo noma yasedlelweni. Lo mkhiqizo omusha uyithuluzi elibalulekile lokuphatha nokuqapha izinkomo, ukwenza kube lula ukuqopha okusebenzayo kanye nokuqinisekisa inhlalakahle yezilwane.
Amakholomu ezinkomo enziwe ngezinto ezihlala isikhathi eside futhi ezimelana nesimo sezulu futhi anepuleti lezinombolo elihlanganisiwe, ngokuvamile elenziwe ngensimbi noma ngepulasitiki eqinile, ebonisa inombolo kamazisi eyingqayizivele noma ikhodi enikezwe inkomo ngayinye. Lokhu kuvumela ukuhlonza okubonakalayo kalula kwesilwane ngasinye, ukusiza ukugcinwa kwamarekhodi, izinhlelo zokuzalanisa, ukuqapha impilo kanye nokuphathwa komhlambi jikelele.
Ikhola iklanyelwe ukuba ikwazi ukulungiseka ukuze ikwazi ukunethezeka inkomo, izibophelelo ezivikelekile kanye nokulingana okungenziwa ngendlela oyifisayo ukuze kuhlaliswe izinkomo ezinobukhulu obuhlukahlukene nezinhlobo. Amathegi ezinombolo kumakholola ahlinzeka ngendlela elula nehlala njalo yokuhlonza, esusa isidingo samathegi engeziwe noma izindlela zokumaka ezingase zidale ukungakhululeki noma ukuphazamiseka esilwaneni.
Omunye wemisebenzi esemqoka yama-number plate collars ukwenza kube lula ukuhlonza izinkomo emhlambini ngendlela efanele nenembile. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ekulandeleleni amarekhodi empilo yesilwane ngasinye, izinhlelo zokugoma, umlando wokuzalanisa kanye nolwazi lobunikazi, okuvumela abalimi nabafuyi ukuthi bagcine amarekhodi aphelele futhi ahlelekile enkomo ngayinye.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, amakholomu ayithuluzi elisebenzayo lokulawula nokulawula ukuhamba kwezinkomo, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sokuncelisa, ukusenga kanye nezinqubo zokwelashwa kwezilwane. Amapuleti elayisensi ahlonza izilwane ezithile ngokushesha nangokuthembekile, enze kube lula ukuphatha kahle inkomo ngayinye emhlambini.
