Allflex® Official Numbered USDA Swine Premises Tags
Compliance with Voluntary National Animal ID Systems (NAIS)
The Swine Premises Tag consists of a tamper-proof button and a visual panel stud. Each tag carries the official U.S. shield, state, the assigned alphanumeric seven-character standard PIN (Premises Identification Number), and a notice stating UNLAWFUL TO REMOVE.
Effective January 1, 2015, this type of tag will be required as a condition of sale for all cull breeding stock. A PIN is required when ordering. To obtain a PIN, please contact the animal health authority (Animal Disease Traceability Administrator (ADT)) for your state - a directory can be found at www.aphis.usda.gov/traceability/contact_us/directories.shtml, or contact the National Pork Checkoff’s Service center (1-800-456-7675) and they will direct you to the appropriate agency. Space is also available on the visual panel for producers wanting to include an individual management number. These tags support comprehensive disease surveillance programs, improve trace-back accuracy, speed, and efficiency, and meet USDA and pork industry standards. Tags are available in seven colors. For application, use any Allflex® Tagger. Allow extra delivery time.
