  3. Outline • Background • Goals and Objectives • Progress to date

  4. Background • AI outbreak in 2004: temporary database created containing contact information for producers • After the outbreak, database given back to 4 poultry boards to maintain with current information • AI event 2005: determined that identifying farms by address was not sufficient for mapping purposes • Moving forward: Premise ID Initiative

  5. BC Poultry Premise ID Goals • Industry-led initiative (government supported) • Goals: • To accurately, efficiently and uniquely identify all commercial BC poultry premises and barns while working towards full chain traceability • To instill confidence in our stakeholders regarding our preparedness in a foreign animal disease situation

  6. What is Livestock Traceability? • Includes 3 main elements: • Animal identification (group) • Premises identification • Movement tracking

  7. Premise ID Initiative- Objectives • To have a secure central database that contains accurate premise and barn identification and contact information for all commercial BC poultry premises and barns • To create a system and process for poultry producers outside of the regulated system to register their poultry premises • To ensure the process and database is concurrent with national initiatives (CCIA/ CLIA)

  8. Premise ID Initiative- Objectives • To assign a national alpha-numeric ID to all premises and barns • To physically identify the premises and barns with highly visible signage with the national Premise ID • To work and communicate with various stakeholders towards the common goal of Emergency Preparedness

  9. Premise ID Initiative • BC Poultry Industry Biosecurity and Emergency Response Strategic Plan (2005-2007) • Goal 2: the BC poultry industry has an emergency response management plan in place to handle an infectious disease outbreak, by 2007 • Requires all farms and other required locations to be included in a “database” by Dec 31, 2006

  10. Premise ID Initiative - Progress • Mapping • GIS technician (Dave Jackson) hired May 15 to map premises and sub-premises using orthophotos • Abbotsford: 218 premises, 807 sub-premises • Chilliwack: 105 premises, 329 sub-premises • Lower Mainland, then Island and Interior
