What follows is the most frequently
asked question:
Question
What kind of ID will be required for goats in the NAIS?
Answer
The Goat Working Group is recommending that the current
forms of identification used in the Scrapie program be
accepted for goats in the NAIS. That includes these optional
forms of identification:
1) Official Scrapie tags;
2) Tattoos (legible individual registry tattoos issued by
breed associations may also be used as official
identification when the animal is accompanied by its
registration certificate listing the tattoo); or
3) Electronic ID (if your goat breed registry recognizes
electronic microchips as an authorized form of ID and the
microchip number is recorded on the registration
certificate, then electronic ID is acceptable. You must also
have your registration certificate (or a copy of it) or a
health certificate which includes the microchip number that
matches the one on the registration certificate. Further,
you must take your own reader unless one is provided by the
show).
The Goat Working Group will need to
identify during which types of movements these forms of
identification would be acceptable.
