NAIT reporting timeframes extended for areas affected by adverse weather
Due to adverse weather in many parts of the country, we have extended NAIT reporting timeframes to help ease some of the pressure on farmers.
We have extended the timeframes for updating NAIT to help ease some of the pressure on farmers and other People in Charge of Animals (PICAs) in any location with a declared State of Emergency or red weather warning as per Metservice.
This extension remains in place until 48 hours after the local state of emergency.
PICA registration
Register as a PICA within 48 hours of the local state of emergency.
Animal movements
Declare animal movements within 48 hours of the local state of emergency.
Untagged animals
Animals that arrive untagged must be tagged and registered within 48 hours of the local state of emergency.
Where possible, you should check if any NAIT tags have been lost or misplaced.
Dead and missing animals
Declare animal deaths and losses within 48 hours of the local state of emergency.
