Saskatchewan has launched a voluntary online premises identification database.
Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said premises ID, a location identifier, is an important safeguard for the livestock sector if it has to manage a disease outbreak or a natural disaster that affects livestock.
He said 1,400 cattle producers have already registered, as has the province’s entire hog industry.
“This is important for the future of the industry,” Stewart said in an interview at the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association convention.
“Of course, the federal government is talking about next year changing the rules around movement of livestock that would require producers to be in the PID system in order to do that. If they follow through with that, it’s going to be doubly important for producers to be in.”
The province has been working for several years to establish a system based on Alberta’s. In the meantime, many producers had entered PID numbers in the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency database, but those weren’t transferable to the new system.
