Event Reporting Tips

You can use the DairyTrace app to report all traceability events on an animal’s life, from birth to end of life.

Use the app to report tag activation/birth events


Tag and then report birth events while in the barn.


The app links to your single and dual tag inventory so you can choose the tag number(s) from your list of “My available tags”. It’s also recommended to add in the sex and breed for this event report.

In 2024, over 56,000 events were reported through the DairyTrace Mobile App, with 76% of those being tag activation/births.

When you’re on the go, report movements using the app

The app links to your Premises Address Book in the DairyTrace Portal, making reporting easier when you save premises for future movement reporting.


Move-in: Save time by reporting at the time of unloading when you have both the licence plate and Premises ID numbers handy.


Move-out: Select from your “Animals on farm” list to report at the time the animals are leaving. This makes it easy to report multiple animals on the same transport, too.

You can enter events in the app even when there’s no internet connection. The app will automatically sync them when you have a connection.
