In April 2024, USDA-APHIS issued a final rule updating their existing 2013 regulations on animal disease traceability (ADT). The updated rule will take effect on November 5, 2024. This update now requires ear tags to be used as official animal identification for the interstate movement of covered classes of cattle to be both visually and electronically readable. For more than a decade, NCBA has been at the forefront of this regulatory discussion, working to ensure that a nationally significant ADT system works for our producers, protects their data, operates at the speed of commerce, and strengthens our ability to respond to the growing threat of a foreign animal disease outbreak. Dr. Alex Turner, DVM, Director of the National Animal Disease Traceability and Veterinary Accreditation Center at USDA-APHIS Veterinary Services and Sigrid Johannes, NCBA Senior Director of Government Affairs will be leading the discussion.
