How to record an exempt animal movement

Find out how to use a CSV file to upload exempt animal movement records to the NAIT system.

Preparing the CSV file

Your CSV file must include all of the column headings, in the correct order. This includes headings for optional columns you are leaving blank.

How to complete each column

Enter the NAIT number of the entity sending the animal.

Enter NAIT number of the entity receiving the animal.

  • For fallow deer, enter FD.
  • For trophy deer, enter TD.

The number of exempt animals in the movement (between 1 and 500).

  • This field allows you to type up to 500 characters.
  • Enter details of the exempt animal in the movement.
  • You must include breed, gender, and approximate age.

You can choose to enter a reference number of your own — for example 1, 2, 3, 4. This makes it easier to identify which record (row of your spreadsheet) is incorrect if you make a mistake in your CSV.

Only complete this column if you are sending the animal from your NAIT number.

  • You can enter only one date per animal sent.
  • The date may be up to four days in advance.
  • Date must be in a recognisable format — for example:
    • dd/mm/yyyy
    • dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss
    • yyyy-mm-dd.

Please note any time component will not be stored in the database.
