Brazil livestock producers face mandatory herd registration deadline

Rural producers in several Brazilian states, including São Paulo and Rondônia, must complete mandatory livestock herd updates by November 30, 2026. This campaign is part of state-level sanitary defense efforts to maintain animal health standards.

In São Paulo, specifically in Araraquara, producers must update data for all species, including cattle, buffalo, horses, swine, sheep, poultry, and bees, via the GEDAVE system. Failure to comply will block the issuance of Animal Transit Guides (GTA), preventing the movement or sale of animals.

In Rondônia, the update is managed by Idaron. Producers must report births, deaths, and age groups for cattle, swine, and poultry. This registration process is critical for maintaining Rondônia’s status as a foot-and-mouth disease-free zone without vaccination, a designation that facilitates access to international markets.
