Overview
- The Economy Ministry published Resolution 40/2026 in the Boletín Oficial, signed by Luis Caputo, creating the unified Sistema Integral de Faena.
- The measure abolishes the handwritten meat‑movement book and repeals long‑standing JNC, ONCCA and other rules to fold records into a single digital platform.
- Slaughterhouses must register animal entries, pre‑slaughter approvals, slaughter results and daily inventories through SIF, with data treated as sworn declarations.
- Each herd requires a SIF‑generated Autorización de Faena signed by the veterinary inspection service, with a paper receipt kept for one year.
- The rule mandates chip reading for electronically tagged bovines, bubalinos and cervids and preserves corral numbering, anti‑mixing and carcass identification, with noncompliance risking preventive suspension and DT‑e blocks.
