<strong>AIM</strong> <strong>Bovine</strong> <strong>Statistics</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2011</strong><br />

The <strong>AIM</strong> <strong>Bovine</strong> <strong>Statistics</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2011</strong> provides comprehensive data on calf births, farm-to-farm and mart<br />

movements as well as details <strong>of</strong> cattle slaughtered in factories and abattoirs, live exports and on-farm bovine<br />

deaths.<br />

The <strong>Report</strong> is compiled on an annual basis from data provided by farmers, livestock marts, factories, abattoirs and<br />

export locations to the Animal Identification and Movement (<strong>AIM</strong>) database managed by the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Agriculture</strong>, Food and the Marine. The <strong>Report</strong> contains a comprehensive list <strong>of</strong> livestock marts, abattoirs,<br />

factories, export points for live cattle and knackeries.<br />

The <strong>AIM</strong> <strong>Bovine</strong> <strong>Statistics</strong> <strong>Report</strong> contains valuable statistical information for use by interested stakeholders to<br />

monitor trends in the beef and dairy sectors. Data and reports generated from the <strong>AIM</strong> system are provided by<br />

the <strong>Department</strong> to a range <strong>of</strong> organisations including Bord Bia, Central <strong>Statistics</strong> Office (CSO), Environmental<br />

Protection Agency (EPA), Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF), Teagasc as well as breed societies, farming<br />

organisations and Meat Industry Ireland (MII).<br />

The <strong>Report</strong> is available in the 2012 Publications section <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Department</strong>’s website www.agriculture.gov.ie.<br />

Updated reports are provided on the website each month on calf registrations, factory slaughterings, live exports<br />

and an age pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> the national herd.<br />

Animal Identification and Movement (<strong>AIM</strong>) System<br />

The <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Agriculture</strong>, Food and the Marine maintains cattle traceability records on a central database<br />

known as the Animal Identification and Movement System (<strong>AIM</strong>). The <strong>AIM</strong> system records all birth, movements<br />

and disposals in accordance with EU requirements and therefore traces all bovines from birth to slaughter. The<br />

traceability system provides assurances to customers and consumers at home and abroad about the origin and<br />

traceability <strong>of</strong> beef, protects animal and human health and secures and maintains markets for Irish cattle and<br />

beef.<br />

Uses <strong>of</strong> <strong>AIM</strong><br />

Verify the origin, identity and life history <strong>of</strong> cattle entering the food chain.<br />

Pre-clear live exports.<br />

Assists in the testing and certification requirements for specific export markets.<br />

Management tool for disease control purposes in compliance with EU and national requirements and to<br />

facilitate identification and segregation <strong>of</strong> bovines for disease testing, tracing <strong>of</strong> cohorts and progeny.<br />

Plays a key role in facilitating compliance with EU and national requirements and in the management <strong>of</strong> a<br />

range <strong>of</strong> programmes other than those relating to animal health and food safety including:<br />

- Single Payment Scheme;<br />

- Compensatory Allowances Scheme;<br />

- Rural Environment Protection Scheme (REPS);<br />

- Animal Welfare Recording and Breeding Scheme for Suckler Herds; and<br />

- Nitrates Regulations.<br />
