NAIT Animal ID System on Track for 2011
NAIT Animal ID System on Track for 2011
NAIT and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF), announced today that they have entered into discussions with the Australian National Livestock Identification System Limited (NLIS Ltd) regarding the information system that will support New Zealand’s National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT) scheme.
NLIS was introduced as a mandatory national animal tracing system in Australia in 2005.
NAIT’s Chief Executive, Russell Burnard said that NAIT in collaboration with MAF are investigating the ability of NLIS Ltd to develop a similar system that meets New Zealand’s requirements.
“New Zealand has an excellent opportunity to benefit from the lessons learned from the experience of NLIS in Australia.
“Farmers, the meat industry,
stock agents and sale yards can be assured that lifetime
traceability of animals in New Zealand is fast becoming a
reality. “
