The main purpose is to protect animal health, ensure food safety, and allow authorities to track animals if disease breaks out.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- **Farmers and livestock owners** – must register their properties, tag their animals, and keep records of movements\n- **Beekeepers** – must register annually, mark hives with identification codes, test honey for disease, and complete training if keeping 50+ hives\n- **Stock agents and saleyard operators** – must track animal movements and report to databases\n- **Abattoir operators** – must ensure animals are properly identified and keep records until meat is assessed as safe\n- **Feed manufacturers** – must label products correctly and ensure feed doesn't contain banned substances\n\n**Key requirements:**\n- **Property Identification Codes (PICs)** – every property keeping livestock must have one\n- **Electronic identification (eID)** – sheep and farmed goats born from 1 January 2025 must have microchip ear tags; all sheep and goats must have eID before leaving property from 1 January 2027\n- **Cattle** – must have permanent identification devices (PIDs) with electronic microchips\n- **Pigs** – must be tattooed or tagged, with movements tracked through a pig database\n- **Movement documentation** – required whenever animals move between properties, to saleyards, or to abattoirs\n- **National Livestock Identification System (NLIS)** – a database where movements must be reported, allowing authorities to trace where animals came from\n- **Feed rules** – bans on feeding certain animal products to ruminants (to prevent mad cow disease), and strict labelling requirements\n- **Biosecurity measures** – controls on vaccines, bee diseases, sheep lice, and hormonal growth promotants\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThese rules help contain disease outbreaks quickly, maintain market access for South Australian meat products, and give consumers confidence in food safety. The electronic identification system for sheep and goats is a major recent change, replacing older visual tag systems with traceable microchip technology."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/livestock-regulations-2013","history":"/api/acts/livestock-regulations-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/livestock-regulations-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/livestock-regulations-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/livestock-regulations-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/livestock-regulations-2013/documents"}}
