Livestock Information Transformation Programme (LITP)

The Livestock Information Transformation Programme (LITP) is a Defra change programme for England, which is introducing new technology to trace livestock movements more quickly and accurately. 

LITP will replace existing, species-specific traceability systems across England with a new multispecies system called the Livestock Information Service (LIS). This will enable near real-time reporting of livestock movements and allow introduction of Bovine Electronic Identification (BEID).
