The development of a new Livestock Information Service to give farmers and processors accurate information about animals and their movements has been announced by Environment Secretary Michael Gove.
The new service, set to be operational from 2019, will provide the foundation for some of the best farm to fork traceability in the world when the UK leaves the EU.
Identifying and tracking animal movements via electronic IDs (initially dairy cows, cattle, sheep, pigs and goats) also means that the industry and government will be better-placed to respond in the event of a disease outbreak.
