| ||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. For more
