Traceability in Canada
Canada’s traceability process is considered an important step towards the containment and eradication of animal disease. The TRACE system is built on three elements: animal identification, premises identification and movement reporting, and creates a need for change throughout Canada’s cattle industry. Animal identification for cattle is mandatory in Canada.
