Animal Health Department

The system also incoorperates the identification of all establishments with an animal movement control component. All relevant data are captured into a real time Central Information Bank. This traceability system provides support to the Bovine Brucellosis, Tuberculosis and Bovince Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) surveillance programs among others.
