Data from a recent Dairy Herd Management Pulse Poll shows that dairy producers are split on whether or not the cattle industry needs a nationwide traceability system, with 43% responding yes and 57% responding no.

Traceability is a topic at the forefront of discussion in the industry as of late, as consumers push for greater transparency in where their food comes from, in addition to the benefits in tracing, controlling and stopping spread of disease.

Of the 98 respondents, most were located in the upper Midwest along with the East Coast.
