Premises Identification |
|
|
The overall system must allow for the identification of each premises-or location- where animals are born, managed, marketed, or exhibited. It must also allow for the recording of animal identification and animal movement data. The NAIS must associate or link animal identification data to EACH premises where the animal or group of animals was located and the specific dates the animal or animals were at the location. The first step in implementing the NAIS is registering each premises in the United States and assigning that location its own unique identification number. To ensure animal health officials at the national level have the necessary contact information in case of a disease concern, States will forward certain information to a national premises information repository maintained by USDA. National animal health officials will be able to access this very basic information quickly during a disease outbreak, helping them coordinate their response with the States that are affected.
