A proposed Florida Cattle Identification rule (5C-31).  This rule will require that, unless specifically exempt, adult cattle and bison moving intrastate within Florida must have official individual identification. This regulation specifies approved forms of official individual identification which will be accepted.  This rule will become effective on January 1, 2014 if implemented

PURPOSE:

The Purpose of the rule is to improve the state’s ability to trace livestock (cattle and Bison) in the event of an animal disease emergency. Official individual identification enables Florida producers to market animals into other states under federal and state regulations which require official individual identification. This rule provides definitions, reporting procedures and forms for official individual identification of adult cattle and bison moving within the state.
