USDA releases guide for animal identification system

The Department of Agriculture is seeking public comment on a draft user guide for the National Animal Identification System.

The draft user guide is the most current plan for the NAIS and replaces previous program documents, such as the 2005 Draft Strategic Plan and Draft Program Standards and the 2006 Strategy for the Implementation of NAIS. The guide provides details about program participation and discusses the components of the NAIS—premises registration, animal identification, and animal tracking.

Accompanying the draft user guide are a document about data standards and another document about animal tracking databases.
