This study was conducted to compare the cattle and beef traceability systems between Korea and Australia. The Beef Traceability System in Korea has started from December 2008 as a mandatory system. Korean system adopted an animal identification number consisting of 12 digit numbers fitted for a bar-code system. The system also adopted DNA identity inspection scheme on breeding step, slaughtering step, processing step, and selling step. However, our system does not have National Vendor Declaration(NVD), Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) system and uniform barcording system for meat products. On the other hand, Australia has performed the traceability system since 2004 after the pilot program which was first introduced to Victoria in 1999. Australian Beef Traceability System has been operated by RFID, NVD and uniform barcoding system. RFID devices applied prior to calves leaving the property on which they were born. These RFID devices can be either ear tags or rumen bolus/ear tag combinations. NVD system has been introduced to document the history of chemical use and treatment of animals. From Australian beef traceability experiences, introducing NVD, RFID and uniform barcoding system in korea is important to extend a health-related record and save trace-back time. This paper suggests that introducing NVD, RFID and uniform barcoding system can provide information efficiently for the meat industry supply chain and maximize consumers' satisfaction.
