The requirement to track individual sheep from lamb processors to the farm of birth is a major  logistical challenge but is considerably easier than in some of New Zealand{\textquoteright}s trading partners.  Definition of the  requirements of a traceability system and implementation into an effective model are still under debate.  A major  requirement is the design and implementation of a central database to cater for present and future needs.  A traceability  system could be developed using databases and technology already used in the sheep industry.
