Information for South Australian Producers
Individual electronic identification (eID) tags are replacing the mob-based visual tag system for the identification and traceability of sheep and farmed goats.
For many producers, the only change will be switching from visual tags to eID tags.
Key Dates for SA producers to transition to eID are:
1st January 2025
Sheep and farmed goats born on or after 1 January 2025 will need to be identified with a National Livestock Identification System (NILS) accredited eID tag before leaving the property of birth.
Producers who conduct property to property movements must be ready to scan sheep and farmed goats identified with eID tags and record individual movements on the NILS database
1st January 2027
All other sheep and farmed goats leaving a property will need to be
identified with a NLIS-accredited eID tag.
