The National An...Thank you for your comment Lacey. <br />The National Animal Identification System in the United States, as you might know by now, has been scraped. A new NAIS system is being drafted, which would supposedly be run by each state. <br /><br />This is a heated debate and issue with producers, on how the cost is burdened by the farmer or producer.<br /><br />I will make a post on this subject shortly, with my non biased opinon on a NAIS, with it's Pro's and Con's from both sides of the fence. <br /><br />I invite everyone to read the post and comment their opions as well. The more we talk about it and understand traceability, the better it is for everyone. <br /><br />Somtimes just getting something off your chest is just as good. <br /><br />Thanks again Lacey.George Lukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13458455468695413015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155594439814430820.post-63822665493720497492010-03-25T00:01:01.093-07:002010-03-25T00:01:01.093-07:00National Animal Identification System
From Wikiped...National Animal Identification System<br />From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br />Jump to: navigation, search<br /><br />The National Animal Identification System, (NAIS) is a government-run program in the United States intended to extend government animal health surveillance by identifying and tracking specific animals.[1] Administered at the federal level by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, a branch of the United States Department of Agriculture, NAIS will also be overseen by state animal health boards. While the federal program is voluntary, money received by some states,[2] tribes, and non-profit entities [3] from the USDA through cooperative agreements has been used to make parts or all of the program mandatory.[4][5][6]<br /><br />Critics claim the system will put small farmers out of business, by requiring that farmers pay the cost of registration devices of between $1 and $20 for each animal. Large, corporate factory farms which are connected to vertically integrated, birth-to-death factory systems ID and pay by the herd (and not the individual animal), while small farmers must pay it for each animal.[7] <br />from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Animal_Identification_SystemLaceyhttp://myspace.com/thepoweroftheuniversenoreply@blogger.com
