MORE than 4,000 cattle keepers have now registered on the ScotMoves system in the year since its introduction.
The online system provides a simple, fast and convenient way for beef and dairy cattle businesses to record cattle moves within their enterprise. This information provides added transparency on the location of cattle within Scotland and will be vital in controlling and eradicating diseases.
Additionally, it provides added reassurance in checking that cattle in Scotland continue to meet the eligibility criteria for BSE Negligible Risk – adding value to our beef sector.
