What will happen with the national Scrapie eradication programs ID system?
With uniformity and consistency being key objectives of the USAIP, the U.S. Animal Identification Number (USAIN) will become the official number for use in the Scrapie eradication program. It is likely that animals currently Identified through other official plans/programs will be “grandfathered” into the program, meaning animal owners will phase in the USAIN on animals Identified for the first time after a mutually acceptable date. In addition, it is envisioned that the current Scrapie premises identification numbers may be cross-referenced with the new National Premises ID and animal owners will still be able to use the current premises ID number until it is phased out over time.
