Herefordshire NFU members with a livestock interest will have the opportunity to hear from Tom Dracup, NFU Livestock Adviser, at meetings taking place on Tuesday 8 January.
The Livestock Information Service will mean digital recording of information usually captured on paper, saving time and money. It will help to remove red tape and paper work from farms, while offering better traceability, management and supply chain data including things like medicine history, assurance records and carcass classification, all in one place.
Many farmers have expressed concerns about changing to the proposed new livestock information service, which will place more emphasis on electronic movement recording. This meeting will give members the opportunity to hear about Defra’s plans and timetable for introduction, as well as feeding back any comments to Tom, which will then be relayed to those developing the new system.
