Take our Livestock Traceability Survey
Help Shape the Future of Livestock Traceability in Canada
Survey Open: September 25 – November 25, 2026
The Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) wants to hear from producers and livestock industry stakeholders about what they need from the next generation of livestock traceability and information systems.
CCIA has established a CLTS Task Force to better understand the business needs, experiences and priorities of those who use or interact with livestock traceability and information systems. As part of this work, we are asking industry to share their feedback through our Livestock Traceability Survey.
Why We’re Asking for Your Input
Our goal is to better understand what users need from future livestock traceability systems and how these systems can deliver greater value to the people who rely on them.
The survey explores opportunities to:
- Reduce duplicate data entry and reporting burden
- Simplify reporting processes and improve ease of use
- Improve integration between livestock information systems
- Support mobile functionality and automated reporting
- Identify tools, reports and information that could provide greater value to users
- Better understand expectations around data ownership, privacy, security and trust
- Identify priorities for future investment in livestock traceability systems
This is about understanding your needs, experiences and priorities. Your feedback will help identify what is working, where challenges exist and what capabilities should be considered as livestock traceability systems evolve.
Who Should Participate?
We want to hear from producers and stakeholders from across the livestock industry, including those who use CLTS regularly, occasionally, or interact with other livestock information and record-keeping systems. A broad range of perspectives will help us better understand the needs of different operations, sectors and regions across Canada.
Complete the Survey
The survey takes approximately 20–25 minutes to complete.

Research Update from CCIA
Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) is exploring The Smart Bolus System as a potential alternative to traditional livestock identification and reporting methods.
How it works:
- Beef calves receive boluses at 4, 8 or 12 weeks of age
- Attempting to follow the test animals as they move from ranch to ranch where possible
- Each bolus transmits encrypted data every 30 minutes to a reader up to 70 metres away
- Data collected includes location, eating/drinking behaviour and body temperature
- Low-cost, preconfigured gateways automatically send this information to the cloud for analysis
Results so far:
- All boluses in the trial have been safely retained
- Conveyance testing showed cattle movements were tracked and reported automatically — no manual entry needed
Although it is too early in the research to draw conclusions, the project highlights the potential of emerging technologies to simplify reporting, strengthen traceability and provide real-time insights into animal health and movement.
