1 Iowa Animal Identification Program Premises Registration and Identification Steve White - State Animal Identification Coordinator (IDALS) is working with the USDA in the formation of a National Animal Identification System (NAIS) Nationwide system of identifying all premises and livestock within the US Livestock to be covered by the program: - Cattle and Bison - Swine - Poultry - Goats - Sheep - Cervids - Camelids - Ratites - Horses The NAIS is an animal health program The purpose is to create a database that will allow for rapid traceback and traceforward capabilities in case of disease outbreak Iowa is following USDA s suggested guidelines for our own Animal Identification System The NAIS is a three step program Premises ID, Animal ID, Animal Tracking Premises Identification is the first step in the process It involves assigning a unique Premises Identification Number to every location involved in animal agriculture When an identified animal travels from one premises to another, these numbers will be linked in an electronic database 1

2 What is the Premises The Premises Identification System will record information such as the 911 street address, contact name and phone number, and type of premises being registered Currently, the Premises Identification System is voluntary, and done at no cost to the producer USDA looking to make Premises Identification and Animal Identification mandatory by 2008, Animal Tracking mandatory by 2009 Why is Animal Identification Important? A national animal identification system is necessary to protect animal agriculture from disease threats Knowing where livestock is located is the key to an efficient, cost-effective system for investigations and disease control This system allows for rapid tracking, reducing the scope and expense of the outbreak and minimizing impact on foreign markets In the event of an outbreak, authorities will have the premises data immediately available to help with the tracing process A strong Animal Identification System will help promote continued confidence in American agricultural and animal products Why is Premises Registration Important? Premises identification is the first step in getting this program running Without the completion of the premises identification process, animal tracking and traceback will be nearly impossible Premises identification shows us where livestock is located within the state Notification of disease threats in an area Feral swine Avian influenza What constitutes a Premises? A premises is any location involved in livestock commerce or the movement of animals or poultry Any geographically unique location in which agricultural animals are raised, held, or boarded 2
