To help U.S. livestock producers
protect their livestock from a devastating disease and wholesale
destruction, the USDA and the Indiana State Board of Animal Health have
implemented the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). The
program goal is to allow health officials to
trace an animal's movement history within 48 hours in an emergency
disease outbreak like foot & mouth disease.
The First part of the three-step
program, called Premise ID, is now underway. Livestock farmers
have until September 1, 2006 (less than a year) to get their farm
registered with BOAH. BOAH need to register farm locations where
animals reside. They are not registering individual animals.
Farmers can register their farms through BOAH or Indiana Horse Council.
BOAH has named the Indiana Horse Council as an
authorized agent to enter Premise ID's.
