Biosecurity: how traceability contains disease outbreaks

When disease strikes, every hour matters. Connected movement data is the difference between a contained incident and a national crisis.

Disease outbreaks are won or lost in the first hours. The faster you can identify which animals were exposed and where they went, the smaller — and cheaper — the response.

Contact tracing for livestock

A movement graph is, in effect, a contact-tracing network for animals. Select an affected animal and Farmso surfaces every premises and animal in its path, so quarantine and notification can happen immediately.

Stopping illegal moves before they happen

Farmso’s compliance gate blocks movements that would breach a standstill or disease restriction before they’re recorded — preventing the very spread that traceability is meant to clean up after.

An audit trail you can stand behind

Every alert, quarantine and movement is captured in an immutable, exportable log — the evidence base regulators need, and the record that protects compliant farmers.
