Argentina livestock traceability and FMD control updates
Overview
Argentina’s National Service for Agri-Food Health and Quality (Senasa) has introduced new measures to enhance livestock traceability and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) control.
Initially, Senasa issued a resolution authorizing local sanitary entities and foundations to act as distributors of electronic identification devices for cattle, buffalo, and cervids. This measure was designed to utilize existing infrastructure from vaccination campaigns to optimize the National Electronic Animal Identification System.
Following this, Senasa implemented broader regulations under Disposition 27/2026 and Resolution 898/2026. These updates allow producers to select accredited private veterinarians for FMD vaccination campaigns through the SIGTrámites system. Additionally, the new protocols require entities storing FMD and brucellosis vaccines to register as ‘Cold Storage’ facilities and reinforce the role of sanitary entities in distributing electronic identifiers to strengthen the meat supply chain.
