| | Simply put, livestock traceability is tracking the path and the history of an animal. It is the linking of premises identification (PID), animal identification and the recording of animal movement. Traceability systems are important, effective tools that can be used for many things, including the protection of animal health, public health and food safety. Livestock traceability helps government and industry to prevent… prepare… respond… and recover quickly and effectively to manage disease outbreaks. This helps minimize economic impacts.
