NAIT reporting timeframes extended for areas affected by adverse weather
Due to adverse weather in Northland, Whakatāne, Waikato and Ōpōtiki, 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 Northland, Whakatāne, Waikato and Ōpōtiki.
This extension remains in place until 48 hours after the local state of emergency or red weather warning is lifted, whichever is later.
PICA registration
Register as a PICA within 48 hours of the local state of emergency lifting, whichever is later.
Animal movements
Declare animal movements within 48 hours of the local state of emergency lifting.
Untagged animals
Animals that arrive untagged must be tagged and registered within 48 hours of the local state of emergency lifting.
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 lifting.
