Cattle Identification

Overview

RULE:

5C-31.001	Definitions
5C-31.002	Application of Official Individual Identification
5C-31.003	Approved Tagging Site Requirements
5C-31.004	USDA Approved Livestock Facilities
5C-31.005	Required Identification for Intrastate Movement

PURPOSE:

The Purpose of the rule is to improve the state’s ability to trace livestock (cattle and Bison) in the event of an animal disease emergency.  Official individual identification enables Florida producers to market animals into other states under federal and state regulations which require official individual identification.  This rule provides definitions, reporting procedures and forms for official individual identification of adult cattle and bison moving within the state.   In April, the Department will schedule and announce several rulemaking workshops to solicit public comments regarding the proposed rule text.

SUBJECT:

This rule will require that, unless specifically exempt, adult cattle and bison moving intrastate within Florida must have official individual identification.  This regulation specifies approved forms of official individual identification which will be accepted.
