Mandatory livestock register: what you need to know
The livestock register is a mandatory document for every farmer in France. It must contain each animal's identification, movements (entries/exits), veterinary treatments administered, purchased feed and health checks. Its maintenance is regulated by the Rural Code and can be inspected at any time by the authorities.
The livestock register must include several mandatory sections: animal identification and headcount, veterinary treatment register, medicated feed purchase and use register, analysis results and health checks.
