Traceability presentations and resources for producers

To help clarify key aspects of traceability and proposed regulatory changes, two presentations featuring the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) provide information from subject-matter experts.

CFIA Traceability Webinar

Video: CFIA – Proposed Part XV of the Health of Animals Regulations

Overview

CFIA is responsible for the traceability regulations themselves — the legal framework that outlines what information must be collected and reported. This presentation outlines the regulatory direction of proposed amendments.

This CFIA presentation focuses on:

• An introduction to the proposed federal traceability amendments under Part XV of the Health of Animals Regulations
• Types of reporting under consideration, including animal movement and premises identification
• Regulatory context and timelines from the federal perspective
• How traceability supports disease preparedness and market access

CCIA Traceability Webinar

Video: Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) Industry Update

Overview

CCIA is the responsible administrator for livestock identification in Canada. As an industry-initiated and industry-led not-for-profit, CCIA manages the database and tools producers use to record tag applications. Understanding how CLTS functions and how to use it effectively can help producers navigate routines and regulatory requirements.

In this session, CCIA covers:

• How the Canadian Livestock Tracking System (CLTS) supports current traceability practices
• Practical steps for using tags and reporting animal movements
• New tools and features designed to support producers as traceability expectations evolve
• Responses to common producer questions about tag use and CLTS workflows

Traceability articles on ABP Daily

ABP Daily has also published recent articles to provide additional background and practical information:

• Understanding proposed updates to livestock traceability regulations — an overview of the federal proposal and what producers should be aware of ahead of implementation.
• FAQs: What proposed updates mean for producers — a practical Q&A addressing common questions about tagging, premises identification, movement reporting, and on-farm implications.

Consolidated information at Albertabeef.org

As questions continue to come in from producers about the proposed updates to livestock traceability regulations, Alberta Beef Producers has developed a dedicated traceability information page on albertabeef.org.

This page serves as the primary reference for understanding the proposed amendments, what they may mean for producers, and where to find the most up-to-date information as the regulatory process moves forward.

Producers are encouraged to visit the ABP page on proposed traceability amendments for a consolidated overview of the proposed changes, background information, and related resources.

ABP Daily will continue to provide updates to help producers navigate the discussion around traceability and stay informed as additional details become available.
