Introduction: it is reported that 115 million sheep in Australia will be labeled as origin since July 22 There are two kinds of labels, one is the lambing label, the other is the growing label The label will be placed on the sheep's ears, in many different colors, and changed every year, the report said When a rancher sells sheep to a slaughterhouse or exports them, he must fill in the tag number on the application form Once a disease is found, the relevant department can quickly find out the origin and farm of the sheep according to the tag number and take preventive measures as soon as possible At the same time, it also helps Australia protect its brand in the international market In the past, Australian ranchers only put labels and numbers on sheep's ears to indicate quantity management, with different formats and management Since the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the UK last year, there has been a growing demand in the international market to pay attention to the identification of origin of livestock products, so Australia has established a "national livestock food identification system" and set up a corresponding management organization.
