Animal Disease Traceability and Premises Registration
Animal Disease Traceability - a Federal/State/Tribal Nations/Industry flexible framework - is designed to:
- Only apply to animals moved in interstate commerce
- Be administered by the States and Tribal Nations to provide more flexibility
- Encourage the use of lower-cost technology
- Be implemented transparently through federal regulations and the full rulemaking process
The faster animal health officials know which animals are involved and where they can be located, the sooner they can respond and halt the spread of disease. Rapid disease response means fewer producers impacted by an outbreak and less hardship in affected communities. For more information about animal disease traceability, please visit the USDA Animal Disease Traceability Web site.
Traceability is the ability to rapidly determine the source of a disease outbreak and locate all affected and at-risk animals. It is the key to protecting animal health and minimizing the impact of animal disease.
Wisconsin is the first state in the nation to mandate livestock premises registration. Livestock premises registration means that any location where livestock congregate - family farm, hobby farm, backyard poultry flocks, veterinary clinics, markets, livestock feedlots, livestock dealers and haulers - must provide an address, contact person, and list of species to a central database. The location gets a unique identifier. The goal is to be able to trace livestock movements within 48 hours in case of an animal disease outbreak and be able to find where an infection originated and what animals have been exposed. For more information on the Wisconsin Livestock Premises Registration, please visit the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection * Web site.
As a livestock producer or animal owner, you can help. Register your Wisconsin premises today by visiting the Wisconsin Livestock Identification Consortium * (WLIC) Web site.
