Are you planning on buying sheep ear tags soon? Pay attention because, as of April 1, 2013, new conditions will apply to the purchase of sheep ear tags paid through the ASRA program of the Financière agricole.
The electronic version of the new activity report is now available. Different activities marked the last year: the traceability project in the meat marketing chain (from farm to retailer), the data collection method to facilitate the management of insurance programs and traceability, as well as the participation of the organization in the development of the traceability system of Canada.
In collaboration with the Financière agricole du Québec (FADQ), a simplified checklist has been developed to facilitate traceability and livestock insurance tasks to feeder calve and lamb producers that are insured to ASRA program.
The contract between the Canadian Pork Council (CPC) and Agri-Traçabilité Québec was formalized in February in order for ATQ to provide traceability services to the swine sector at the national level.
