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:

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.
