REGISTER YOUR PREMISES

The Wisconsin Livestock Identification Consortium (WLIC) is registering premises today.

There is no better time to register your livestock premises, whether it’s a farm, a production site, a feed yard, or a livestock market. Registering your premises does not increase your liability; instead it actually provides you with a level of protection for your investments.  Also, your information will be kept private in a secure database.  You hold control of your personal information by establishing your own user name and password.

Each premises registration brings us closer to the day when Wisconsin's livestock industry will be prepared to respond within 48 hours in the event of an animal disease outbreak.

The Wisconsin Premises Registration Act requires anyone who keeps, houses or co-mingles livestock to register their premises no later than November 1, 2005.

To register your premises at no cost, go to www.wiid.org  and clicking on the link for “WLIC Premises Registration”.   If you do not have computer access, call WLIC at 1-888-808-1910 to request a form, or write to the Wisconsin Livestock Identification Consortium, 135 Enterprise Drive, Suite ID, Verona, WI 53593. You may also contact a WLIC agent to register your premises. Agents are listed on the WLIC website.

WLIC is a multi-species effort led by Wisconsin’s livestock and industry organizations in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, the USDA and the University of Wisconsin Extension.
