Proposed document to be incorporated by reference – Approved animal indicators

On this page

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.

Definitions

Approved indicator
An approved indicator that identifies an animal or its carcass (ear tag, leg band, slap tattoo etc.).
Approved secondary indicator
A supplementary means of identification of a cervid or its carcass.
Herd mark
A number or marking issued by a responsible administrator for the purpose of identifying groups of pigs, sheep or goats that originate from the same site.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
Radio frequency technology in tags that allows for the identification and tracking of animals.

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 ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard ("CA" for Canada) and an identification number unique to the animal or to a group of animals.

Identification numbers

Identification number unique to an animal

Identification numbers unique to an animal must follow the ISO 11784 standard (see Figure 5).

Figure 5: ISO 11784 standard number format

Picture - Figure 5: ISO 11784 standard number format. Description follows.
Description of image – Figure 5

The image shows the number "124 000 123456789" to demonstrate the ISO 11784 standard made of 15 digits.

The first 3 digits represent the country code following the ISO 3166-1 numeric standard ("124" for Canada).

The following 3 digits "000" are managed by the CFIA, and indicate a range that may designate animal breed; this is currently not used.

The last 9 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.

ISO 11784 standard identification numbers per animal species

Range of ISO 11784 standard identification numbers per animal species

Identification number unique to a group of animals (herd mark)

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 goats aged 12 months or less and pigs, as further described in the general information on indicators section. The table 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, caprine, cervids, 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.
