Confirm that sheep that are declared bred’: have all tag PICs recorded, or are identified with tag with a PIC matching that on the NVD. that the PICs on tags match the NVD PICs. If is a suspicion that more additional PICs are recorded than actually present on tags in the mob, check tags on all sheep and record PICs present. record the PICs on the tags checked). Record remedial action if required consignment and establish a list of all PICs present on tags. Append a record of these to the NVD, in the mob-based movement upload. Transcription errors in NVD ‘additional PICs’, and WA brands (which are used in WA on tags instead of PICs) Where established that a PIC has been recorded incorrectly, check all sheep in the consignment and record from the tags on sheep the correct PIC and attach to the NVD a record of the corrected PIC and record in the mob based movement. Saleyards and processors: Ensure software can accommodate WA brands and has state algorithms to detect PICs that contain transcription errors Enter all ‘additional PICs’ into PIC checking software before sheep are sold. Ensure all PICs recorded for non–vendor bred sheep are correct and are entered on mob-based movement files and PSSs. The PICs actually present on tags (that is, with transcription errors corrected) must be included in mob-based movement uploads and post-sale summaries. PICs that contain transcription errors must be corrected before are released to buyers. Corrected PICs must be included on movement files that are uploaded to the NLIS database. breeder
Implementation and infrastructure costs None infrastructure and implementation cost of $10.25 million. Total infrastructure and implementation cost of $10.25 million Estimation of ongoing labour costs Number of animals costed (based on animals For Option 1, 35 million animals. When Option 2 is implemented, approximately 23 million sheep and goats. When Option 3 is implemented, approximately 35 million sheep and goats. Labour costs Increase of $0.01 per sheep farm over base case. Increase of $0.30 per sheep through saleyard over base case. Increase of $0.075 per sheep through abattoir over base case.

Increase of $0.05 per sheep through abattoir over base case. Estimation of tagging costs Number of animals costed on lambs marked and goats turned-off) Same as current system When Option 2 is fully implemented, a total of approximately 23 million lambs and goats annually. When Option 3 is fully implemented, a total of approximately 35 million lambs and goats annually. Additional cost per tag No additional costs Electronic tagging cost above cost of visual tag (visual tag = $0.30): – $0.50 with an EID tag price of $0.80 – $0.60 with an EID tag price of $0.90 – $1.00 with an EID tag price of $1.30 Electronic tagging cost above cost of visual tag (visual tag = $0.30): – $0.50 with an EID tag of $0.80 – $0.60 with an EID tag price of $0.90 – $1.00 with an EID tag price of $1.30 Data The data used to derive and goat movements and the assumptions to estimate costs were sourced from: ABARES (2012a) AAGIS survey data Sheep turn-off rates Percentages of sheep sales by destination ABARES agricultural commodity data Sheep flock Sheep and lamb slaughtered Live exports ABS (2012a, b) data on agricultural commodities marked DAFF (2012) transaction levy data Goat numbers slaughtered Goat numbers transacted FAO (2012) agriculture statistics Goat population estimates Centre for International Economics (2010) report on NLIS
