ScotEID works closely with the Scottish livestock sector & Scottish Government to design, develop and deliver solutions to ensure robust traceability and minimise legislative difficulties.
Scottish sheep, pig & cattle keepers can register with ScotEID in order to meet or minimise current legislative requirements.
If you keep cattle on holdings other than your main holding, moves to and from your main and additional holdings must be recorded on ScotEID as ‘Within Business Moves’ on this menu option on the left.
Now may be the time when cattle are returning from over-wintering or heading out to summer grazings. Within business moves must be recorded within 48 hours on ScotEID. If you have a query or require assistance, please don’t hesitate to phone the Help Team on 01466 794323.
A case of African Swine Fever has been declared in the South of Germany on Thursday 26 May, 7 km from the French border, which represents a jump of 500 km in disease. The recent jumps to Italy and the further delay by the UK Government on the introduction of Border checks is of concern to the pig industry. Linked below is a copy of a letter that CVO Scotland will issue to all registered pig keepers along with biosecurity guidance.
Due to the number of birth registrations increasing at this time of year we have introduced a third and fourth passport print run each week. Passports for calves registered before 5pm each Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday are printed and posted the following day.
Please register your calves promptly at this busy time of year; either online, or by giving us a call, and please check your passports when you receive them.
If there is an issue that prevents a calf being registered please contact us as soon as possible; that contact is used as your notification date, which is not impacted by the time taken to resolve the issue, so please be in touch to avoid a late registration and the hassle that causes.
The Huntly office will be closed Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th of December 2021, and Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4thof January 2022 over the festive period. The answer machine will be available for short messages to be left over this period or alternatively please send an email in to help@scoteid.com and we will get back to you when we return to the office
We wish you all the best over the festive period.
We are pleased to say that the Huntly office team received negative PCR tests over the weekend and is back to normal working today. Thankyou.
Unfortunately, a colleague in the ScotEID Huntly office has tested positive for Covid. This will mean that the office must adhere to the procedures for NHS Test & Protect. This may mean that our normal service is interrupted as we change to more work from home. Please bear with us during this time. Thank you Bob Yuill – Director.
Cattle keepers that are required to register for ScotMoves+ are due to receive a registration letter including a ‘registration code’. Keepers already registered for the existing system ScotMoves have been automatically registered for ScotMoves+. This can be checked on the menu item ‘ScotMoves+ Registration'.
The switch over is scheduled for the 4th October 2021. You do not have to register before then but you will need to be registered once you need to record cattle births, deaths or moves.
