IDTrax: Traceability in action By Marike Hillocks
n today’s livestock industry, traceability is no longer a luxury or a ‘nice to have’ – it has become a necessity. Breeding quality livestock is only part of the equation; producers must also demonstrate where animals come from, where they have been, and who owned them. Additional information, such as how animals were treated or which other animals they have been in contact with, may also be relevant. Livestock traceability is the ability to track an animal through every stage of the value chain, from birth to the final consumer. It protects herds and producers, and builds trust between value chain role-players. Moreover, in the event of a disease outbreak, officials can quickly identify and isolate affected animals, helping to contain disease and safeguard farms as well as the broader industry.
IDTrax at a glance IDTrax is developed and maintained by SA Stud Book. It is integrated with the Logix system and is connected to the Red Meat Industry Services (RMIS) traceability platform (for users registered with a global location number [GLN] on the RMIS system and recorded on Logix or IDTrax). It is designed to equip producers with fast, simple, real-time traceability. IDTrax is a digital platform that links animals’ identification marks, such as brands or tattoos, to their ear tags, thus creating a verified digital identity. Think of it as a digital record book for your livestock. Producers can define farm boundaries, track animals using RFID or QR-coded ear tags, monitor livestock transport, and maintain vaccination and treatment records.
Why IDTrax matters The livestock industry is rapidly evolving, with technology and mandatory traceability becoming essential for
disease control, food security, regulatory compliance, and meeting export requirements. Instead of asking questions like “When was this cow vaccinated?” or “Which cattle has this cow been in contact with?”, IDTrax delivers instant answers at the click of a mouse. It validates animal movements and vaccinations, enabling the creation of certificates that can be verified online or by scanning the QR code found on each certificate. Your animal information is securely stored in IDTrax and accessible only to you and those you authorise. Movement data is shared with RMIS only when the owner provides a registered RMIS GLN. The shared data includes only GLN-to-GLN transfers, the date of movement, and the animals involved.
