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

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 allow you select animals or have a pre-selected group of animals which you have bought or sold and enter details about where they have come from/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 property you don't necessarily own but are using for joining purposes. Using this function will 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. These animals appear in the list for upload to the NLIS database.
Died on Farm
The Died on Farm tab allows animals and the respective PIC to be selected for animals that died on farm.
