3 Million in Cooperative Agreements to States and Tribes Nov 12, 2005
On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced it will
award $3 million in cooperative agreements to states and tribes for conducting research to develop or test potential solutions
for animal identification and automated data collection in support of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). Applicants
are encouraged to propose research or field-trial projects to: - enhance the effectiveness of collecting animal animal-identification
data in typical production, market and abattoir environments; establish identity validation when official identification
devices are lost, removed or malfunction; - conduct economic assessments of animal-identification systems and technologies
in typical production, market and abattoir environments; and - evaluate emerging animal-identification technologies
with advanced data-collection systems to ascertain the adaptability of the technology for use in NAIS. The deadline
for application is Dec. 30, 2005. For complete details and an application form, log on to: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/mrpbs/fmd/agreements_announcements.html.
More Partners with the USDA to register your Premises
IDAIRY receives $1 million from the USDA to move forward registering premises in the dairy industry
More on IDairy http://www.idairy.org/ IDairy consists of six organizations that serve thousands of dairy farmers. We have formed this coalition
because we all agree that our industry will be best served when all dairy operations, and ultimately, all dairy cows, are
identified in a national central database.
Who is IDAIRY? http://www.idairy.org/who.html Holstein Association USA, Inc.,National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB), National Dairy Herd
Information Association (NDHIA) , The National Milk Producers Federation , The Dairy Calf and Heifer Association (DCHA), American
Jersey Cattle Association
AMERICAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION PARTNERS WITH USDA TO REGISTER PREMISES AS PART OF THE NATIONAL ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
PREMISES REGISTRATION RECIEVES USDA FUNDING
USDA is making $400,000 available to
the U.S. Pork industry to assist with premises registration for the National Animal Identification System (NAIS), the
main goal of which is the ability to trace back animals to their farm of origin within 48 hours in case of an animal disease.
The funds will be used by the National Pork Board to hire regional swine identification coordinators who will work with state
pork producer associations and state ID coordinators to encourage producers to get their premises registered in their state.
This is the beginning of a year-long push by the Pork Board and NPPC to have 100 percent of swine producers’ premises
registered by Dec. 31, 2007. USDA and the Pork Board entered a cooperative agreement on premises registration. It was the
first such agreement to be signed between the agency and a livestock industry organization in support of the NAIS. NPPC and
the Pork Board formed an identification implementation task force made up of producers and other industry stakeholders to
enhance the existing swine ID system, which was set up in 1988 and used successfully to eradicate pseudo-rabies from the commercial
herd. The organizations have been urging all pork producers to register their premises by Dec. 31, 2007, and have called for
a mandatory animal identification system for all relevant livestock species by Dec. 31, 2008. About 40 percent of swine premises
already have been registered, and NPPC and the Pork Board are working diligently to get the remaining premises registered
as soon as possible.
