PUZZLED BY ANIMAL ID?

摘要

Individual states have several choices to set up premises- and animal-ID systems that report to the national repository, says John Wiemers, who works on the national animal-ID program staff of USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. "States can either create their own program, contract with a third-party, or adopt the Standardized Premises Registration System," he notes. Producer participation remains voluntary unless your state has made it mandatory.
