ADT tag rule takes effect this week

The USDA published its final Animal Disease Traceability rule on Jan. 9, 2013, and the rule became effective on March 11, 2013. However, the rule included a 24-month phase-out period during which producers could continue to use various identification tags, such as those using a “900” numeric prefix, as official identification.
