Saleyards
Most state and territory governments introduced NLIS legislation from 1 July 2005 and the use of NLIS is now mandatory throughout Australia. A saleyard's primary responsibility is to transfer cattle between the Vendor's Property Identification Code (PIC) and the Buyer's PIC on the NLIS Database. This involves recording the visual NLISID / or scanning the electronic RFID numbers of the ear tags or rumen boluses applied to the cattle, then uploading the device numbers and transfer details to the database.
For information on the requirements in your state, contact your local State Department of Primary Industries or Agriculture. For NLIS, saleyards require a computer, Internet connection and browser, an email address and an NLIS Database account. To create a Saleyard account, go to the NLIS database. There is no charge for opening and operating an account.
Saleyards are opting to scan the device numbers electronically using readers. Rather than logging into the database directly, many saleyards use commercial saleyard that is compatible with the NLIS database, to ensure that the transfer process is expedient and accurate. Saleyards can also check property details and animal status (for example, EU and or chemical residue) on the database.
