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.
