Track. Trace. Inform.

The Livestock Information Service (LIS) is specifically designed to improve the performance and sustainability of the livestock industry by transforming the quality of livestock movement data throughout the supply chain.

By the end of 2024, the cattle traceability service currently provided by the British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS) will move to the Livestock Information Service as part of a new upgraded service for cattle keepers. The launch of this service marks the start of Livestock Information Ltd providing a multi-species platform which will include cattle, sheep and pigs by 2026.

Key features of the new cattle service:

• Ability to report cattle movements with ease from a mobile, tablet or desktop.
• Option to amend animal details (subject to rules), record lost, stolen and found animals, and record an imported live animal and an exported live animal.
• Safe and secure records you can check and update with ease
• Faster more accurate online movement data to support better disease control.
• Have an increased view of animals on your holding from 6 months to 18 months.

The data from the new cattle traceability service will provide government and industry with the information they need to respond effectively to animal diseases. In addition to statutory traceability, a core objective is to improve operational efficiency, increase levels of insight and facilitate further development, research and innovation within the livestock sector.
