All cattle must be registered to the NLIS database. Go to the NLIS database. The database must be updated every time cattle are moved to any location with a different Property Identification Code.
Updates must be made within 2 working days of the cattle being moved. All cattle movements require a movement document. There are two types of NLIS devices used for the permanent identification of cattle: White tags: used to permanently identify cattle before they leave their property of birth. Tags will have a unique number printed on the outside including the Property Identification Code as well as the electronic number inside the tag.
At the core of this technology is the NLIS cattle tag reader. It completely digitises the process and provides a number of benefits beyond legal compliance.
Every individual animal is now outfitted with an RFID chip. This allows each one to be identified by an NLIS scanner and added digitally into the system in a manner of seconds. It makes compliant livestock tracking faster, easier and cheaper than older, slower methods. Improved digital record keeping enables handlers and farmers to focus on more important parts of their work rather than dealing with messy hand written notebooks and dealing with government paperwork and filing.
Every animal has two functioning, distinct tag numbers. The RFID number is displayed on the reader and can be downloaded to your computer to add important information about each animal. The second number is physically printed on the outside of the NLIS tag. It serves as something of a handwritten backup. If RFID scanning is unavailable for any reason, the visible number can be also used as a substitute and updated later on your computer. Both numbers are paired in the NLIS database and can be used interchangeably.
From pages , you can see how to utilise the numbers while scanning cattle and while working with the database. All sheep and non-exempt goats introduced from interstate and born after 1 January must be electronically tagged with a pink post-breeder tag before being dispatched from a Victorian property, unless it is already tagged with an electronic NLIS Sheep and Goat tag. NLIS Pigs tags and tattoos Pigs must be identified before leaving a property with either a tag or tattoo brand depending on its body weight: less than 25kg — must be tagged more than 25kg — must be tattooed The tattoo or tag must identify the property from where the pigs are dispatched.

How electronic tags work Electronic tags contain a transponder that's encoded with a unique unalterable number that can be quickly read electronically using suitable reading equipment. The visually readable NLIS number, or NLIS ID, consists of: the 8-character PIC of the property on which the tag is to be used 3 characters coding to represent the manufacturer, device type for example, whether the tag is a breeder or post-breeder tag , year of supply using the Australian Breedplan alpha character for that particular year a 5-character serial number the first character may be a letter, except 'I' or 'O'.
