Who Are We?
We are your Service Provider
The Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) is a not-for-profit, industry-initiated and led organization committed to serving the species groups we represent. As a Responsible Administrator of Canada’s animal identification and traceability program, we manage the traceability of beef cattle, bison and sheep; with goats and cervids as potential new species.
CCIA is led by a Board of Directors representing livestock organizations across Canada, including livestock producers, auction markets, livestock dealers, feedlots, veterinarians and processors.
CCIA owns, manages and maintains the Canadian Livestock Tracking System (CLTS), a secure national database that allows clients and industry stakeholders to record and track animal identification. We also administer and distribute approved and pre-approved (for goats and cervids) livestock tags and applicators for the species we represent. Our team is dedicated to helping you use the CLTS and our services confidently and effectively.
CCIA is your trusted service provider, focused on supporting producers and the livestock industry.
