Let’s protect our industry, Mid Canterbury

The M. bovis outbreak highlights the importance of keeping good NAIT records on the farm. We are supporting Mid Canterbury farmers to improve the region's biosecurity.

With the resurgence of Mycoplasma Bovis (M. bovis) in Mid Canterbury, we’re increasing our efforts to help farmers in Mid Canterbury with the knowledge to keep accurate NAIT records. An accurate picture of where your animals are, and where they have been, is the best way to shut the gate on disease.

We can help people in charge of animals upskill in NAIT in a variety of ways — you can book a seat at one of our upcoming education events; watch our ‘how to’ videos; or download information directly from this website.

In this tutorial we will go over how to register animals.
After logging into NAIT, click 'Register Animals' and then enter animal details.

There are 3 ways you can register animals to your NAIT account.
- If you want to type in the tags, either the visual ID — that's the writing on the tag itself – or the RFID number, click here and then type them in separating each tag with a comma.
- If you've purchased tags these will be loaded against your account. Click here to select which animals you want to register from a list of tags you've already purchased.
- If you want to upload a list of tag numbers, choose this option.

For this tutorial we will be selecting from a list of tags you have already purchased.

Click here, then simply tick the tags you want to register from the list.

Now click 'Continue'. If the animals you are registering are all the same age and gender, you can enter the animals details here.

Remember that the details you entered here will be applied to all of the tags you have previously selected.

Hit 'Register' and you're done – it's that simple.
