The National Livestock Identification System requires cattle to be identified with an NLIS-accredited device, so they can be traced from property of birth to slaughter. The Property Identification Code allocated to livestock properties by State or Territory governments forms part of the NLISID number.
Cattle are fitted with a white RFID ‘breeder’ device before they leave their property of birth. The device should remain attached until the animal dies or is slaughtered, but if cattle are no longer on the property of birth and the breeder device is lost or cannot be read electronically, an orange post-breeder device that is registered to the PIC on which the animal now resides should be applied to maintain traceability.
The NLISID number is printed on the outside of an electronic ear tag used to identify cattle (or on the visual ear tag indicating that a rumen bolus has been applied). The RFID number is the transponder number inside the ear tag or bolus.
The NLISID number is read visually. The RFID number is read electronically, using a hand-held or fixed panel reader. The manufacturer registers both the NLISID and RFID numbers for your PIC on the database at the time of device purchase. As the numbers are linked on the database, either the NLISIDs or the RFIDs can be entered when you submit a transaction, such as moving cattle from one property to another. To prevent ‘bad format’ errors, the device numbers must be entered in the correct format.

NLIS Electronic (EID) Tags - there are two individual numbers associated with each NLIS electronic tag, an Radio Frequency ID (RFID) on the inside of the EID tag (read by an electronic scanner) and an NLIS-ID number printed on the outside of the EID tag. The electronic RFID tag is the ID used by stock agents at the sale yards. The NLIS-ID printed on the outside is used by folks who do not have access to an electronic tag reader. You can download both tag numbers for the current EID tags issued to your property from the NLIS online database (see section 2 and 3 below).
