Traceability, monitoring of livestock movements under the Livestock Movement Ordinance, and traceability of a bovine animal in the event of an animal disease outbreak are important objectives of the Central Database (CDB). To achieve these, the reporting system involves
- the registration of an animal in the ZDB with the
- Initial registration for animals born before 09/26/1999,
- birth registration since 26.09.1999
- EU import and import from third countries since 26.09.1999
- the movement reports (inflow and outflow) and
- the notification of the end of the animal
- slaughter, import slaughter
- Death notification (end of life/slaughter)
- Export
The HIT database has been set up in the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry on behalf of the federal states. The program can be accessed at the Internet address www.hi-tier.de.
In the HIT database, declarations can be made quickly and inexpensively, corrections can be made and declaration chain errors (transactions) can be processed online. In addition, it is possible to access a currently maintained livestock register with LU values and health information, as well as sex and age statistics on a reference date or over a period of time, and to check the life history of an animal. For the submission of reports, it is necessary for the person required to report to apply for a registration number from the office responsible for his farm.
