What is the NLIS?

[subornaakter40]

The National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) is Australia's official system for identifying and tracing livestock. It applies to cattle, sheep, and goats and is managed by Integrity Systems Company (ISC), a subsidiary of Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA).

The NLIS combines three key elements:

Animal Identification – Using electronic ear tags (RFID) or visual tags.

Property Identification Codes (PICs) – Unique afghanistan mobile phone number list codes that identify a location involved in livestock management.

Centralized Database – Where livestock movements and transactions are recorded.

Every time livestock are moved between properties, sold, or sent to slaughter, those movements must be recorded in the NLIS database.

Why the NLIS Database Matters
The NLIS database is more than just a digital record—it's a powerful tool that underpins:

Biosecurity responses in case of disease outbreaks

Market access both domestically and internationally

Product integrity and food safety, building trust with consumers

Industry transparency and traceability across the supply chain

Accurate and timely recording in the NLIS database is not only a legal requirement but a responsibility for all livestock producers and traders.
