The industry’s cooperative involvement in the transition to electronic identification and its participation in programs surrounding traceability is essential to maintain USDA, consumer, and export market trust. The amount of control and influence the cattle industry will have on the further development of animal disease traceability regulation is dependent on regaining trust after the failure of the voluntary National Animal Identification System (NAIS). As a result, the cattle industry and the USDA have focused on forming a national identification system capable of rapidly tracing cattle infected with foreign animal diseases. During the BSE investigation, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) failed to identify over half of the animals imported with the suspected case. The identification of a suspected Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) case in 2003 highlighted the need for enhanced ADT. The transition from official metal tags to “840” RFID tags is the first step to enhance animal disease traceability (ADT) for the cattle industry. Producers should plan to pay 100 percent of the cost of tags after the first year. Starting January 1, 2023, all animals with metal tags will need to be retagged with an official RFID tag to be considered officially identified. The initial round of tags in 2023 will likely be subsidized. The transition will be completed on January 1, 2023, when “840” radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags become the only acceptable form of official identification.
