Program Description

The Premises Identification Program is being established in order to track the location of animals in case of an animal disease occurrence, a public health related emergency, or an emergency such as a natural disaster affecting animals and people. Regulations requiring premises identification will become law after January 1, 2009 as part of the Animal Health Act.

The Premises Identification Application form including Schedule A for your home quarter, is required to register a livestock operation in Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development's Premises Identification Program. A home quarter means the premises on which the applicant's main animal operation is located.

Please Note:

At least one valid premises information sheet (Schedule A) must be associated with your registered Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development premises identification account.
