Livestock Identification and Traceability Regulations Published

The “Regulations Amending the Health of Animals Regulations (Identification and Traceability)” are now published in Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 157, Number 11.

This begins a 90 day consultation period (ending 2023-06-16), after which the final version of the regulations will be published.

The end outcome will be digitization of livestock traceability and herd management in Canada, making Canada the world leader in animal traceability.

Digitization is also fundamental to planning and delivering Canadian livestock producers sustainability response.

Flokk has:

• worked with livestock producers to design, develop, and validate the product
• built the relationships with regulators, the responsible administrator, academic institutions, and industry groups
• engaged our customers through media and industry events

It is necessary for Flokk to take a leadership role in this transition.

Next steps:

1. Continue discussions with the ministers office to understand next steps and the likely final regulation publication date.
2. Review, and submit our comments to, the draft regulation.

Flokk looks forward to sharing with you what we learn as we lead the digitization of vital sector of Canadian Agriculture.
