13.6.1. Cattle

NLIS Cattle was introduced in NSW on 1 July 2004 and involves electronic identification of cattle and centralised recording of movements on a national database. NLIS Cattle uses approved NLIS ear devices or rumen boluses and reporting all movements of cattle between properties with different Property Identification Codes (PICs). Cattle being transported to an export depot, abattoir or saleyard will also require a National Vendor Declaration/Waybill (NVD/Waybill), although their use is encouraged for all cattle movements and sales. The NVD/Waybill clearly states the PIC from which the cattle are being transported.
