NLIS Database and Stockbook
NLIS Database and Stockbook
The National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) is Australia's scheme for livestock identification and traceability, using three key elements:
- An animal identifier (electronic or visual ear tag),
- A Property Identification Code (PIC) for location tracking,
- A web-accessible database for movement and data correlation.
The NLIS tab in Stockbook connects directly to the NLIS Database, enabling you to perform tasks like PIC reconciliations, property transfers, and managing deceased or missing animals. Clicking the NLIS tab takes you to the NLIS Functions screen, where you can choose the desired action.
Setup
Before you can use any of the functions you'll need to use the Setup screen to put in all your details to link to the NLIS Database.
PIC Reconciliation
The PIC Reconciliation tab enables you to reconcile your Stockbook database with the NLIS Database. Click here for more information.
Adding Missing/ Stolen Animals
The Missing/Stolen Animals tab allows you to select animals which have gone missing or have been stolen and update this on the NLIS Database.
Property Transfer
The Property Transfer tab lets you select animals or have pre-selected a group of animals which you have bought or sold and enter details about where they have come/gone to. Pressing upload will send these details to the NLIS Database.
Introducing Breeding Males
The Introduced Breeding Males tab allows you to introduce animals to your PIC for temporary purposes. You may have a sire on your place that you don't necessarily own but are using for joining purposes so you would use this function to update the NLIS Database with this information.
Recording Replaced Tags
The Replaced Tags tab allows you to upload animals with new tags to the NLIS Database. When a new EID is scanned for an animal with an existing EID, Stockbook adds a note, and these animals appear in the list for upload to the database
Deceased on Farm
The Died on Farm tab lets you select animals that died on the farm and specify the PIC. Clicking upload updates the NLIS Database.
