Abstract

EU-regulation (EG) 178/2002 and the EU hygiene package have fixed general principles and requirements for the food law. Some of these principles and requirements are related to the issues of traceability and quality assurance along the agro-food-chains and affect all participants of the supply value chain. This paper focuses on the implementation of these requirements to the livestock farmer and veterinarian segment of the supply value chain. Livestock farmers and veterinarians are responsible for animal health, which is one of the key features of quality assurance. Furthermore, both groups already document information related to animal health. Often, the documentation is comprehensive and at times redundant, and is accomplished manually. Currently, an IT-solution does not exist for the entire supply-value chain of livestock farming and animal products in Germany. Only isolated IT-solutions exist. An integrated IT-solution for farmers and veterinarians has not yet been developed. The development of an IT-system meeting these requirements is the main objective of the BMBF-funded project IT Food Trace in collaboration with IBM. In this paper, first results of an analysis of stakeholder acceptance of ITsolutions will be presented (livestock farmers and veterinarians).
