The Importance of Premises Identification

Premises identification is the first step in the implementation of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). This 48-hour disease traceback system will help protect the livelihood of many Kansans.

Disease Control
The largest program benefit for producers is controlling the spread of diseases and minimizing losses. This system will protect your animals by isolating diseases before they are able to spread.

Consumer Confidence
This 48-hour disease traceback system will also help increase consumer confidence in our nation’s food supply. People will continue to serve up Kansas-raised beef, pork, and chicken at their supper tables.

Global Markets
Another benefit for producers will be the ability to compete in the global marketplace. Buyers worldwide, including some domestic customers, are beginning to demand disease traceability. This system will assist our livestock producers in exporting to all parts of the globe.

And all of this starts with premises identification.
Register Your Premises
“Registering my premises is one way for me to help protect my livelihood. This farm has been in my family for generations, and I want to ensure that my kids and grandkids can do this someday.”
