Livestock Traceability

Livestock Traceability Software: Full Batch History in Minutes — Not Days of Digging Through Records

Regulatory audits, disease investigations, export certification — all require complete animal and batch records on demand. Livestocker links every movement, treatment, vaccination and feed event to individual animals and batches, creating an audit-ready trail from entry to exit.

The Problem

When you need full traceability, how long does it take today?

For most farms, reconstructing a complete batch history under audit pressure means hours of searching across disconnected records — and still delivering an incomplete picture.

Manual reconstruction

Pulling treatment logs from one binder, movement records from another and vaccination sheets from a third — then cross-referencing by hand. Takes hours. Still leaves gaps where records were not entered or the paper was lost.

Disconnected records

Treatments recorded in a veterinary logbook, movements recorded in a farm management system, vaccinations in a separate spreadsheet — and none of these systems talk to each other. Reconstructing a single animal's history means querying three separate sources.

Audit stress

Regulatory submissions assembled at the last minute from incomplete records, often by the farm manager pulling 12-hour days before the inspection. Missing withdrawal period documentation risks certification failure — with significant financial and legal consequences.

Feature Coverage

What Traceability Software does in Livestocker

Every traceability feature below is built into the core platform — not a bolt-on module or an additional licence. It works across all 7 production sectors.

Feature What it provides
Individual Animal Records Every animal entered into Livestocker carries a unique identifier — tattoo, ENAR ear tag or QR code — linking all subsequent events to that individual for the duration of its productive life
Batch History Reconstruction Full event timeline for any batch reconstructable in minutes — entry date, pen allocation, feed deliveries, treatments, vaccinations, movements and exit — presented as a single chronological record ready for export
Movement Records Transfers between barns, farms and sites recorded with date, reason, quantity and responsible user — providing a complete chain of custody from arrival to dispatch
Treatment & Medication Log Product name, dose, route of administration and withdrawal period end date recorded per treatment event — linked to the individual animal or batch treated, with automatic withdrawal period alert before the date expires
Vaccination Records Vaccine product, lot number, date administered and applicable batch or individual animal — all captured at entry and linked permanently to the production record
ENAR Integration Synchronisation with the Hungarian national animal identification registry (ENAR) — movements and births notified directly, reducing manual double-entry and registry submission errors
EU Export Status Track EU export eligibility or third-country export status per individual animal or batch — updated automatically when a disqualifying treatment is recorded
Audit Report Generation One-click export of complete batch history as a structured PDF — covering all events, treatments, movements and responsible users, formatted for regulatory submission
Compliance

Built for regulatory requirements — not just farm convenience

Livestocker's traceability layer is designed to satisfy the documentation requirements of national and EU livestock regulations, not to produce reports that need reformatting before submission.

ENAR integrated

Hungarian national identification registry sync built in — movements and births submitted without leaving Livestocker

EU export tracking

EU export eligibility status maintained per animal and per batch — disqualifying events update the status automatically

Withdrawal period alerts

Automatic alerts fire when withdrawal period end dates approach — preventing dispatch of animals before the clearance date

Audit-ready PDF export

One-click structured PDF export of any batch history — formatted for regulatory submission without manual reformatting

Connected Modules

Traceability is shared across every sector module

Traceability in Livestocker is not a separate database — it is the event layer of the production record itself. Every module contributes to and reads from the same audit trail.

FAQ

Common questions about Livestocker Traceability

In practice, a complete batch history — all movements, treatments, vaccinations and feed events — is available within one to two minutes of searching for the batch or animal ID. Because every event is written to the production record at the moment it is entered in the barn, there is no aggregation step. The history is simply displayed as a chronological timeline, which can be exported to PDF immediately. Farms that previously spent hours assembling audit documentation now prepare regulatory submissions in a single working session.
No. Livestocker's ENAR integration submits movement and birth notifications to the Hungarian national registry automatically when the relevant event is recorded in the platform. Your team does not need to log into the ENAR portal separately, fill in submission forms or export files for upload. Integration is configured during onboarding and operates continuously in the background. If a submission fails — for example due to a registry downtime — Livestocker queues the notification and retries automatically, logging the outcome for review.
Yes. Treatments can be recorded at individual animal level or at batch level, depending on the production system and the event type. Individual treatment records capture the product name, dose, route of administration, the treating user and the calculated withdrawal period end date — all linked to the animal's unique identifier. Batch-level treatments record the same data linked to the batch. Both levels are searchable and both appear in the audit trail export. Withdrawal period alerts are triggered regardless of whether the treatment was individual or batch-level.
The audit report PDF export from Livestocker contains all event types, dates, quantities, product details and responsible users required by standard EU and national livestock regulatory frameworks, including treatment logs with withdrawal period documentation and movement records with site details. Livestock operations using Livestocker have successfully submitted these exports in Hungarian, Romanian and German regulatory audits. If your national authority requires a specific format not currently supported, contact us — we work with distributors to adapt export layouts for local requirements.

The next audit does not have to be a crisis.
