Premises Registration is the First Step...
Premises registration is the first step you can take to protect your investment in Illinois' livestock industry.
A database of locations where livestock are produced, raised and kept, will aid animal health officials. A system with proper trace back and trace forward capabilities provides timely response to minimize the economic impact in the event of an animal disease outbreak.
