NLIS Ear Tags for Sheep & Goats in WA

  • Livestock traceability is important particularly in the event of a food safety incident or an emergency animal disease outbreak such as foot-and-mouth disease. The NLIS can be used to trace animals back to their property of origin, identify any contact animals and allow control measures to be implemented quickly. The NLIS database records the movement of all sheep across Australia. It requires sheep producers and industry stakeholders such as agents, abattoirs and saleyards to register and record sheep movements on the electronic database.
