In order to accomplish Animal Tracking, you MUST have a Premises Identification Number first, and your livestock must
be permanently Identified
By January 2009, USDA anticipates that the animal tracking component of
NAIS will become mandatory. USDA will continue
to support field trials and
gradual implementation of successful data collection systems to collect animal
movement
records. Technology such as these radio frequency identification
panel readers may be incorporated into the system for
certain species. Page 9 DSP
Animal tracking: As animals move from one premises to another, a few basic
pieces of information will be reported
to the national animal records repository: the AIN or Group/Lot ID, the premises number of the receiving location, and the
date of the event being reported. Our ability to achieve the 48-hour traceback objective will be directly affected by the
percentage of animal movements
we are able to record. Collecting animal movement information might be the most challenging
component of the NAIS. Page 12 DSP
Animal tracking: January-December 2005: Test identification and automated data collection technologies Page 16 DSP
Animal tracking: -July 2006: Interstate Certificate of Veterinary Inspection
(ICVI) operational in all States - Focus
on integration of management systems to forward animal locations/sightings Page 16 DSP
Animal tracking: -April 2007: Incentives to report interstate movements
using ICVI or electronic movement permit
system. -October 2007: Infrastructure established to collect animal termination records at high capacity abattoirs.
-Initiate
collection of animal movements at concentration points (markets, feedlots, etc.).- Expand the integration of management systems
to
forward animal locations/sightings. Page 16 DSP
Animal tracking: -July 2008: Collect high percentage of animal termination
records at abattoirs (processing
plants). Page 17 DSP

Stage IV: Animal Tracking The State has begun to implement an animal tracking system that is compliant with the NAIS
data standards. 3. Key locations where animals commingle are equipped with the infrastructure to record the information required
by the NAIS and report it to the National Animal Tracking Information Repository. Page 19 DSP
60 percent of the qualifying animals in the State are identified, and that information has been reported to the
National Animal Tracking Information Repository in accordance with the requirements of the NAIS. Page 19 DSp
25 percent of the qualifying animal movements in the State are recorded and reported to the National Animal Tracking Information
Repository in accordance with the requirements of the NAIS Stage V: NAIS Full implementation page 19 DSP
90 percent of the qualifying animals in the State are identified, and that information has been reported to the National
Animal Tracking Information Repository in accordance with the requirements of the NAIS Page 20 DSP
80 percent of the qualifying animal movements in the State are recorded and reported to the National Animal Tracking
Information Repository in accordance with the requirements of the NAIS Duration of status Page 20 DSP
