Premises Registration: 

Premises Registration Over 2,600 registered California 1,500 Oregon 1,100 Exemptions Over 200 8-10% Higher for beef operations Conversion of of existing premises Have not moved END (87,000) to state system Validation of existing dairies (60 %)

CA Premises Registered via CPRS: 

CA Premises Registered via CPRS N= 1,500

Why Exceptions?: 

Physical address is submitted No address has ever been issued to premises * latitude and longitude are needed to obtain premises number Brand new address Verification is needed through different services including county assessors office Wrong address is submitted Number, Street name, City, Zip P.O. Box is provided Does not have a physical address Submitter does not know physical address and uses P.O. box Started using Data Management Center From a few minutes to several days to issue number Why Exceptions?

Premises Identification - Issues: 

Premises Identification - Issues Complex to register certain premises 'Sheep continued to graze in old grain fields, fallow land, and harvested melon fields in Fresno County.' *Recent NASS Livestock Report Data only flows one direction - from CPRS to National Repository Premises numbers being issued via EMRS (FAD’s emergencies) Public land conversion? Systems don’t collect same information as CPRS

Animal Tracking – Data Analysis: 

Animal Tracking – Data Analysis TRACKING AN ANIMAL Dairy to Calf Ranch 1 to Calf Ranch 2 Information hosted by service providers (National FAIR/Holstein Association andamp; AgInfoLink)

Slide19: 

A Cohort Report of the same animal gives many 1st and 2nd level of contact animals.

Outreach: 

Outreach Actively distributing USDA outreach materials Over 3,000 Premises Identification booklets (program aid No. 1800) Over 3,000 Animal Identification booklets (program aid No. 1797) Created Animal Identification Web site Developed documents California Producer Update Brand Identification vs. Animal Identification document Attended over 60 events state-wide

UC Davis Extension :

Outreach Plan: 

Outreach Plan Background and reasons for animal identification program. How to apply for a unique premises identification in California. Detailed description and comparison of animal identification systems currently on the market. Value of individual record keeping to commercial livestock operations. Emerging management systems. 1 2 3 4 5

Challenges: 

Challenges Premises Identification Legal Legislation implementation Confidentiality (CPRA) Request for premises registration (absentee owners) Exception process Consensus across states Definition One vs. many premises Integrate premises registration by separate systems EMRS GDB CPRS

Challenges: 

Challenges Animal Identification and Tracking Producer education Tag application Device Placement Left ear Correct location (infections) Relationship premises id and animal id Technology Readability Sound Light Distance Data capture (different systems even within same premises) Integration with existing producer management systems Transparency
