I read this in August issue of Pig World, it is my understanding that it is being rolled out in only certain counties and assured abattoirs, funnily enough one of the counties is mine North Yorkshire! but i've heard nothing about it.
This is what the article said in pig world:
Movements to slaughterPig-keepers who are already supplying an assured abattoir and who are completing their Food Chain Information on-line, should transfer to electronic-AML2 now, advises Andrew Knowles of BPEX.
'It is only a couple more questions and an added benefit is that you will get your meat hygiene inspection results back.'
To sign up for electronic movements go to
www.bpex-aml2.org.uk. If you are already registered for the electronic Food Chain Information website you will be able to login with your existing username and password.
Electronic farm to slaughter notification is now operating in all assured abattoirs in England. The switch-over from paper forms to electronic notification of movement to slaughter
will be in September. Possibly they're only aiming it at the commercial boys for the time being who take zillions of pigs but mark my words it will be coming soon for the rest of us!!
