The Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA) will distribute National Individual Identification Devices (DIN) to improve traceability and control of animal establishments, in response to recommendations from the USA and Canada. This will allow for real-time tracking of animal movements and sanitary events. The initiative aims to strengthen exports and prevent illegal slaughter and meat smuggling. The country is also moving forward with a vaccination cycle to maintain freedom from foot-and-mouth disease. The vaccination process is governed by Law 395 of 1997 and is overseen by the ICA for quality and technical supervision.
