EUCAS: Farms

Farms must be accredited with the European Union Cattle Accreditation Scheme (EUCAS) if they want to produce bovine animals that can be used to produce meat for export to the European Union. A farm is an area or land covered by a single Property Identification Code (PIC) under State or Territory legislation. To obtain a PIC please contact your local state representative.

The following documents relate to EUCAS accreditation for farms:

This document outlines the rules of the EUCAS and provides general administrative instructions to those delegated to administer the scheme:

EUCAS accredited producers may seek departmental approval for Non-EUCAS animals to be brought onto an EU PIC for the purposes of breeding. All Non-EU breeding animals must be HGP free and will not be eligible for EU status. Non-EU breeding females remain in the system as not eligible for the EU, but their offspring will be eligible.

The Non-EU females must be identified with an NLIS accredited device, be lifetime traceable in the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) and attested to be HGP free. The Non-EU breeding bulls must be HGP free. You may purchase cows, heifers or pregnant females but cows with calves at foot are not permitted.
