Animal Disease Traceability rules in effect

The USDA’s final Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) rule went into effect Monday.  Regulations are meant to improve the traceability of cattle, bison, equines, swine, sheep, goats, poultry and captive deer that are moving in interstate commerce.  Official forms of identification are: National Uniform Eartag System (NUES) tags, other official ID approved by the USDA, and, “840 tags” which are 15-digit eartags reserved for U.S. born animals.
