Mr. Pat Herbert:

The new traceability model will, at the point of 12 weeks, register the entire litter with our system by way of microchip. It includes the ear tattoo, certificate, breeders, controller details. The greyhounds are typically brought for their first trial 12 months later.

We need to take ownership of our numbers. Four greyhounds of six may be presented to the track. At this stage, our traceability model has an ad hoc reporting function to query the other two greyhounds' location and whether an update has been provided. The entire litter will be included as part of the remit.
