Module 12 (USDA) - Animal Disease Traceability

This module reviews the components of the Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) program, 
including the Animal Disease Traceability regulation (9CFR part 86), official identification 
devices and methods used for different livestock species, and required documentation for 
interstate movement of livestock. The responsibilities of accredited veterinarians with respect 
to animal disease traceability are reviewed. A scenario involving cattle movement is presented
to illustrate and emphasize the importance of accurate documentation of individual animal 
identification and interstate movement of livestock necessary for effective traceability of livestock.
