What
is Livestock Premises Registration and how to register?
Premise registration became mandatory as of
January 1st 2006 by the Wisconsin Livestock Identification
Consortium (WLIC) with the help of the Department of
Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and
the USDA. Premise registration allows for much faster
traces when there is an outbreak of an animal disease
or an animal-borne human disease. The animals that must
be registered include “livestock”-
horses & other equine animals, cattle & other bovine
animals, swine, poultry, sheep, goats, farm-raised deer & other
cervids, bison, llamas & other camelids, ratites (emus,
ostriches), & fish. The premises that must be
registered includes- farms & hobby farms, veterinary
clinics, stables, animal markets, animal trucker & dealer
premises where animals are kept, slaughter, rendering, & dead
animal plants, livestock exhibitions, & any other location
where livestock are kept or congregated. Register
