Reconcile EID's entered in Stockbook with NLIS database

The National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) is Australia’s scheme for the identification and tracing of livestock.
The following steps outline how to complete a reconciliation of animals in Stockbook with NLIS.

Handy Hints before you attempt to reconcile:

  • Ensure all animals in Stockbook have been allocated with an Electronic Identification (EID).
  • Ensure you have a record of all unallocated tags. This can be done by scanning the tags into the Unallocated Tag List.
  • Reconcile at a time when you have recently processed all of your livestock, to ensure your Stockbook records accurately match your current livestock numbers on your property. 

 1. Select NLIS

  • Click on the NLIS tab on the main toolbar.


  2. Setup details
