Companies marketing livestock reproductive products: 3 months to update traceability records

Royal Decree 536/2026 amends 429/2022 to require companies that collect, produce, process, store, or distribute livestock reproductive products to maintain a traceability system including records of establishments and product movements (Art. 2). This system must be updated within three months of the decree coming into force (Art. 4). This change strengthens sanitary and zootechnical traceability of products, ensuring compliance with applicable European regulations.

In 2 key points

  1. A traceability system with records of establishments and product movements is required (art. 2)
  2. A three-month deadline to update records from the date the decree enters into force (art. 4)

How it affects those involved

For livestock companies marketing reproductive products, this entails the obligation to update traceability records regarding establishments and product movements. Sector advisors must provide guidance on compliance with the new system. Authorities will be able to supervise the supply chain more effectively. Producers of reproductive products must review their recording and storage processes to meet the new requirements.
