PREMISE REGISTRATION IS VOLUNTARY TO EXHIBIT LIVESTOCK (beef, dairy, swine and sheep). Choosing to register your premises puts you on the frontline of controlling and preventing the spread of animal disease. A disease outbreak can’t be predicted but it can impact every segment of animal agriculture. Participation ensures that you have the information you need, when you need it most, to protect your animals and your investment.Registering a premises involves obtaining a seven-character alpha-numeric “identifier” for the farm, ranch, veterinary clinic or other site where livestock or fowl are handled, housed, managed or processed.

If an exhibitor wants to register their animals an application form can be found on-line at www.agri.state.il.us/premiseid. Exhibitors who register on-line will receive a premises registration number immediately. An application can also be obtained by calling --1-866-299-9256. If completing application and returning by mail, it may take up to 4 weeks to receive the number. Return applications to: Food Safety & Animal Protection Bureau, Illinois Department of Agriculture, P.O. Box 19281, Springfield, IL 62794-9281
