You will need to register for a Property Identification Code (PIC) if you intend to run livestock on your property. You must also register any Pig Tattoo Codes granted in association with your PIC.
A PIC is needed to maintain a register of the locations of livestock and contact details of property owners or managers. This register is intended to be used in the event of an emergency affecting animals.
You will need a PIC if you have one or more:
- horses
- cattle
- sheep
- pigs
- goats
- deer
- alpacas
- buffaloes
- donkeys
- camels
- mules
- llamas.
You will also need a PIC if you intend to operate a commercial poultry egg and / or meat production business that is needed to have food safety accreditation.
