NAIT Programme Report
30 June 2015 marked the
end of NAIT’s three-year
transition phase. Cattle
must now be tagged
and registered, and their
movements recorded 1 .
This transition phase provided
valuable experience and learnings for
all involved in implementing NAIT.
Significant headway has been made.
OSPRI sought feedback from farmers
and other users of NAIT to identify
areas for further development, such
as greater reporting capability,
integration with other information
systems and improved usability.
During the year 5300 PICAs
(persons in charge of animals) and
1.7 million animals were registered,
bringing the total number of
registered animals to over 9 million.
OUR FOCUS
During the year OSPRI set out to:
• improve understanding of NAIT’s
benefits
• improve the uptake of NAIT by
supporting and engaging farmers
and other users in the supply
chain, and improve usability
• ensure information providers,
accredited entities and tag
manufacturers could more easily
meet their NAIT requirements
and integrate NAIT with their
business systems
• improve the integrity, accuracy
and completeness of NAIT data
• work in partnership with industry
and government to explore
generating greater value from NAIT
• improve the integration of
NAIT with farm and disease
management systems, and
• focus on the integration of NAIT
and TBfree programmes to
increase the value delivered by
both intitatives.
