Tags & Traceability

Traceability is the backbone of all IMI Global verification programs. We work with you to implement individual electronic identification (EID) tags—known as Program Compliant Tags (PCTs)—for every animal in your herd. These tags make it possible to track an animal’s origin and movements, which not only meets evolving regulatory requirements (like Animal Disease Traceability rules) but also enables value-added claims down the line. We can customize your tags to suit your operation, from color-coding and custom numbering to including your ranch name or brand.

 

By investing in robust tagging and record-keeping up front, you create a secure data trail for your livestock that unlocks additional verification opportunities and instills confidence in buyers no matter how, where or when you market your cattle.

EID Tags

EID TAGS

We sell IMI-approved EID tags (RFID-enabled ear tags) for Source & Age and other verification programs. These tags connect each animal to its records, enabling full-chain traceability and supporting compliance from ranch to packer.
