Safeguard Kentucky's Agriculture |
The
first step in implementing a national
animal identification system (NAIS)
is identifying and registering premises
that are associated with the animal
agriculture industry. A 'premises' is
the geographically unique location in
which agricultural animals are raised,
held or boarded.This includes farms,
ranches, feedyards, auction barns, and
fair sites.
If you have more than one farm or location, you can apply for multiple premises ID's.

The number of animal disease outbreaks that have been reported around the globe over the past decade have greatly intensified public interest in developing a national animal identification program for the purpose of protecting animal health. The European Union, Canada, and Australia already have animal identification systems in place. |
A strong U.S. identification system is in increasing demand as a necessary component of our Nation's agricultural infrastructure.
Kentucky has registered approximately 14,000 of the 61,000 premises in Kentucky.
