SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NLIS
As exports two-thirds of its beef and veal production, around 200,000 people are involved in the red meat industry, including on-farm production, processing and retail.
Free from most agricultural and aquatic pests and diseases and its ‘clean and green’ reputation provides a major trading advantage, so an animal disease epidemic or chemical residue incident could cripple the industry and lead to the collapse of export markets.
BUYING, SELLING, AND MOVING LIVESTOCK
Each time that livestock are bought, sold or moved from one property (PIC) to another, a livestock movement must be recorded on the NLIS Database.
The information required to record a livestock movement varies depending on where the animals have moved from and to, and on the type of identification attached to the livestock.
CATTLE TRACEABILITY STANDARDS
The purpose of this Standard is to specify minimum standards that, if adhered to, will ensure the traceability of cattle for disease control and food safety purposes.
The standards represent minimum mandatory requirements needed to ensure compliance with the National Livestock Traceability Performance Standards.
Industry participants need to comply with relevant legislation in the jurisdiction in which they operate.
