Identification and registration of bovine animals

This proposal aims to establish a unified system for identifying and registering cattle across the EU. By ensuring every bovine animal is uniquely identified and tracked, the EU can better monitor livestock movements, improve disease control, and ensure food safety throughout the supply chain.

This will primarily affect livestock farmers and veterinary authorities. It introduces stricter requirements for animal tagging and record-keeping to provide consumers with more reliable information about the origin of beef products.
