How to update or delete movements
Find out how to use a CSV file to update or delete animal movement records in the NAIT system.

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 number is the information printed on the outside of the tag. The number must already be registered to an animal to update the animal's details.
You can choose to enter a reference number of your own — for example, 1, 2, 3, 4. This will make it easier for you to identify which record (row of your spreadsheet) is incorrect if you make a mistake in your CSV.
