Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Public Health
  • Animal Health Informatics
  • Food Chain Traceability

Background:

  • A computerized database system for cattle management has been operational in Northern Ireland since 1988.
  • Initially designed for tuberculosis and brucellosis eradication, its scope has broadened significantly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the evolution of a cattle database system from manual records to a sophisticated second-generation system.
  • To explore the expansion of the system's functions beyond disease control to quality assurance and marketing.

Main Methods:

  • Case study analysis of a long-standing computerized cattle database.
  • Description of system development from manual processes to current digital infrastructure.
  • Exploration of traceability functions and their extended applications.

Main Results:

  • The cattle database system has evolved from disease eradication administration to encompass quality assurance, public health, and beef product marketing.
  • The system's traceability function is central to its expanded utility.
  • A second-generation system is now in place, with future developments planned.

Conclusions:

  • The evolution of the Northern Ireland cattle database demonstrates the successful integration of traceability for diverse applications.
  • The system's adaptability highlights its value in modern animal health, food safety, and marketing initiatives.
  • Future developments are anticipated to further enhance the system's capabilities.
