How to update or delete information for a kill upload
Find out how to use a CSV file to update or delete information from a previous kill upload to the NAIT system.
Preparing the CSV file
Your CSV file must include all of the column headings, in the correct order. This includes headings for optional columns you are leaving blank.
How to complete each column
NAIT identifier of the original batch of kill records (mandatory for untagged animals, not required for tagged animals).
The sequence number of the corresponding record in the original batch of kill records (mandatory for untagged animals, not required for tagged animals).
- Cattle = C
- Deer = D
This is the date of death.
Date must be in a recognisable format — for example:
- dd/mm/yyyy
- dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss
- yyyy-mm-dd.
Note any time component will not be stored in the database.
- Animal slaughtered = True
- Animal died but not slaughtered = False
NAIT number of location animal sent from.
NAIT number of location of animal death.
You can leave this column blank if you provide a NAIT Visual ID.
A NAIT RFID is the unique 16-character code that relates to each animal's NAIT tag. It is provided by tag manufacturers or can be read with a scanner. Formats we accept include:
- 00000 0 982 000196588496
- 942 000002422333
- 982 000161531687
- 9.82E+14
- 0982 000190869343.
You can leave this column blank if you provide a NAIT RFID.
A NAIT visual tag ID is the information printed on the outside of the tag.
The number must already be registered to an animal to update its details.
This is the submitter's reference number. It's optional but is useful to correlate with error messages in the error download CSV.
You must state disposal method if you enter a kill date.
If slaughter is true, use one of these codes:
- Home kill = A
- Disposed at NAIT location = B
- Meat processor for human consumption = C
- Meat processor for pet food = D
- Animal rendering facility = E.
If slaughter is false, use one of these codes:
- Disposed at NAIT location = B
- Animal rendering facility = E.
You can only enter carcass disease status if you provide a kill date.
