Why? Exotic disease control Food safety Endemic disease control Market access Australia exports over 60% of its beef production.
NLIS Implementation Commenced in the State of Victoria in early 1999 The two main drivers were the need to trace cattle following chemical residue detections and the need to have a whole of life system to support assurances about HGP Freedom. Phased in nationally on a mandatory basis from 2002 NLIS is now a mature system. Successful because industry and Government have worked in partnership during implementation
Crucial Components Each State maintains a register of cattle properties (premises) Each property has a Property Identification Code (PIC) RFID ear tags / boluses for individual animals RFID hardware and software to read (scan) and record RFID devices. National database
PICs are linked to land 3MRDF022
NLIS Tags are allocated to PICs
NLIS Tags NLIS Breeder Tags (White): used to identify cattle on their property of birth. ALL cattle must be identified with an NLIS tag before they leave their property of birth. NLIS Post Breeder Tags (Orange): used to identify introduced cattle not already identified with a NLIS tag, e.g. tag torn out.
How does NLIS work? All cattle movements are recorded on the NLIS Database. NLIS tags Cattle producer Saleyard transactions Feedlot Abattoir DATA DATA DATA DATA DATA NLIS Database
NLIS Database statistics On average the NLIS Database receives between 90,000 120,000 cattle movement records per day 99.5% of transactions are received electronically, typically within 24 hours of the movement
Traceability expectations System must facilitate traceback of a suspect animal and traceforward of all companions within 24 hours for movements within the previous 30 days. Currently, this can be achieved within 2 hours. System must facilitate traceback over the life of a suspect animal and traceforward for all companions within 48 hours. Currently, this can be achieved within 4 hours.
