All cattle imported into Ireland are required to be registered on my Department’s Animal Identification and Movement system (AIM) and accompanied by its passport in addition to complying with all relevant regulations regarding the importation of live animals. AIM provides all processing plants with the animal’s date of birth, sex, breed, movement history and TB test records.
The data provided in the attached table are broken down by country of origin, gender and purpose (breeding or slaughter). Information on sub-divisional categories such as stores or weanlings is not available on AIM.
