Canada – Leaping ahead of USA in traceability
he Traceability Cattle Identification Regulation repeals the Traceability Livestock Identification Regulation.
“Traceability is key in providing assurances of food safety and managing animal health issues,” said George Groeneveld, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development.
“Alberta has taken a leadership role in Canada in developing a traceability system. These adjustments not only enhance Alberta’s system, but also provide some flexibility to producers in meeting requirements.”
There are two parts to the new regulations: tagging requirements for cattle identification and cattle move-in reporting for feedlots.
