NLIS Ear Tags for Cattle, Buffalo, Sheep & Goats in NT

  • The National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) is Australia’s system for identifying and tracing cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats for food safety, product integrity and market access purposes. It is a permanent whole-of-life identification system that allows animals to be tracked from the property of birth to slaughter or export. In the Northern Territory (NT) all cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats must have an approved NLIS device attached to their right ear before they are moved off a property regardless of where they are going.
