Context

Identification and movement recording and reporting requirements for animals are covered under Part XV of the Health of Animals Regulations. The approval of animal indicators is guided by the Animal Indicator Approval and Revocation Framework available upon request at: cfia.trace-trace.acia@inspection.gc.ca.

Recommendations for the approval of animal indicators are made by responsible administrators.

Markings on approved animal indicators

Animal indicators approved under the national Livestock Identification and Traceability program must bear the trademark of the responsible administrator or country designation under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 3166-1 alpha-2 standard ("CA" for Canada) and, an identification number unique to the animal or to a group of animals.

Identification number unique to an animal

Identification numbers unique to an animal must follow the ISO 11784 standard (see Figure 3).

Figure 3: ISO 11784 standard number format

Picture - Figure 3: ISO 11784 standard number format. Description follows.
Description of image – Figure 3

The image shows the number "124 000 123456789" to demonstrate the ISO 11784 standard made of 15 digits. The first three digits represent the country code following the ISO 3166-1 numeric standard ("124" for Canada). The following three digits "000" are managed by the CFIA, and indicate a range that may designate animal breed; this is currently not used. The last nine digits ("123456789") represent the identification number unique to an animal in a given country.

One of the requirements of the ISO 11784 standard is for the Competent Authority (the Canadian Food Inspection Agency – CFIA) "to ensure the uniqueness of the national identification code. If necessary number series may be allocated to species and/or manufacturers, but this will not be standardized. Ideally every country should maintain a central database in which all issued codes are stored, together with a reference to the database where the information concerning the associated animal can be retrieved".

To ensure the uniqueness, the CFIA has allocated ranges of identification numbers based on species.

Ranges of ISO 11784 standard identification numbers per animal species

Identification number unique to a group of animals

A herd mark is made up of 5 alpha-numeric characters and corresponds to an identification number unique to a group of animals that originate from the same site. Currently, herd marks may only be issued to identify groups of pigs. The below provides information on the herd mark allocation for pigs.

Foreign animal indicators deemed equivalent to Canadian approved indicators

Foreign animal indicators deemed equivalent by the CFIA to indicators approved under the Canadian livestock identification and traceability program are considered to be approved under the Health of Animals Regulations. As such, bison, bovine, ovine and pigs imported to Canada and bearing equivalent foreign animal indicators are not required to be identified with a Canadian approved indicator when imported. Hereafter is a list of foreign animal indicators considered approved under Part XV of the Health of Animals Regulations:

Approved indicators (tags) for pigs

The means of identifying animals listed below are approved tags for pigs and approved indicators for pigs (an animal, other than an embryo or a fertilized egg, of the genus Sus). Please note that approved slap tattoos are considered approved indicators, not approved tags, as defined under Part XV of the Health of Animals Regulations.

Approved technology: FDX, HDX and non-electronic

Approved manner to identify: (a) ear tag with marking and identification number facing backward; (b) slap tattoo applied to the shoulder using ink, (c) sub-cutaneous microchip implant, (d) tattoo applied to the ear with ink, and (e) spray painted herd mark applied with a stencil on the back of the pig.

Scope of approval: the ear tags with an ISO 11784 identification number listed under this section are approved for all types of domestic movement of pig.

Ear tags with herd mark are approved indicators for the movement of pigs to an auction mart, an assembly yard or an abattoir.

Shoulder slap tattoo bearing a herd mark are approved indicators for the movement of pigs to abattoirs, either directly or through to a site used exclusively for the purpose of collecting animals before they are transported to an abattoir.

Spray painted herd mark applied with a stencil on the back of the pig is only approved for pig moved direct from farm to slaughter, it is not valid for pigs sent to assembly yard or auction.

Ear tattoo bearing a herd mark are approved indicators for the movement of unweaned piglets accompanied with their sow moved for educational purposes to a site, including fairgrounds and exhibition halls.

Sub-cutaneous microchip implants with an ISO 11784 identification number are approved indicators for pigs kept primarily for research purposes, entertainment purposes or for a person's company.
