Using CCIA Transaction Files
The Canadian Livestock Tracking System (CLTS) is run by the Canadian Cattle
Identification Agency (CCIA) to track the movement of cattle into, out of, and
throughout Canada. If you take part in the CCIA scheme you are required to
report changes in animal ownership and location to the CCIA authorities. This
information can be reported by uploading a file (CCIA transaction file) directly
from MyScale Pro to the CCIA website. You can specify the animals you want
to include in the file.
You can create a CCIA transaction file, if:
• you are a registered member of the CCIA program
• you have bought, sold or moved livestock to or from your farm
• you have set the country code in MyScale Pro to USA/Canada or French
Canada
