| Policy on Livestock Identification |
|
(Approved by the AVMA Executive Board June 1994; revised November 2002; revised April 2006)
|
| |
|
The AVMA believes that permanent, dependable identification of animals is essential for tracing origin and destination of food production animals in order to protect the nation's livestock industry and public health. The AVMA recommends that a high priority be placed on using alternatives to hot-iron branding, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)/electronic technology.
