9 Premises ID Premises: every place, building or pasture where animals could be kept ATQ assigns, to each premises of every stakeholder, a unique seven-digit (7) number with Qc at the beginning This number is randomly generated and doesn t refer to anything

10 Georeferenced premises Premises ID number Link to GIRMA database Generates georeferenced premises

11 Quebec s s Obligations Activation of tags Tag number Birth date or weight Gender Location of the animal (Premises ID number) ATQ s DATABASE Animal Movements: Farm Fair Auction Slaughterhouse Exportation Death Stakeholder s premises number Date animal is received Site of origin (premises ID number) Tag number

14 Objectives: Facilitate reporting to ATQ Single Transaction Form or Electronic Data Transfer Website Customer Service Management Software

15 Objectives: Facilitate & validate reporting to ATQ Information exchange with stakeholders PATLQ Quebec Dairy Herd Analysis Program Holstein Canada PRODUCER FADQ Quebec Agricultural Finance Group PATBQ Quebec Beef Herd Analysis Program FPBQ Quebec Federation of Beef Producers

16 Equinoxe 2005 Foot-and and-mouth disease crisis simulation An exercice to evaluate how well the Quebec system would perform in case of an epidemic. Participants: United States: Vermont, Maine & New Hampshire New-Brunswick: Moncton & Fredericton Quebec: Montreal & Saint-Hyacinthe Ontario: Ottawa

17 Equinoxe 2005 Objectives Realize traceability activities Use and integrate management information tools (GIRMA, ATQ, Initiate the lines of communication Produce situation reports Evaluate the needs in terms of human resources and the system s capacity to react in emergency situations
