Changes to sheep tagging scheme are a good start

THE Department of Agriculture and Food is considering a submission received last month from the IFA in relation to National Sheep Identification Scheme (NSIS).

Minister of State Liam Alyward said the Department has asked the IFA to clarify a number of points made in that document.

The implications of any adjustments to the system can impact on a number of stakeholders, such as producers, processors, marts and tag suppliers.
