Property Registration

All properties that run livestock (cattle, sheep, pigs etc) should be registered with Primary Industries and Resources SA (PIRSA).

Registration of livestock will help to maintain our overseas markets and also assist in improving production efficiency by permitting better national disease control programs.

Registration means animals are identified individually or at least to their herd or flock and hence traceable, through the market chain, back to their property of origin. This is essential for control of the major infectious diseases, particularly exotic disease outbreaks such as foot-and-mouth disease. It is also imperative in resolving residue incidents.

The Livestock Registration Application (.PDF) should be used to apply for a new livestock registration, cancellation, renewal or amendment.
