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 the Selwyn District.
This extension remains in place until the local state of emergency is lifted.
Register as a PICA within 48 hours of the local state of emergency lifting.
Declare animal movements within 48 hours of the local state of emergency lifting.
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.
Declare animal deaths and losses within 48 hours of the local state of emergency lifting.
If you need emergency feed, help moving stock or cleaning up, call Federated Farmers on 0800 376 646, or the Rural Support Trust on 0800 787 254.
