Early Warning (EW) is a status within the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) database that is automatically assigned to a property carrying a high-risk animal or animals.
The EW status does not identify what the status is for, or which specific animals are high-risk.
The EW status helps monitor and manage food safety and biosecurity risk along the entire supply chain.
It is the vendor’s responsibility to disclose any risk associated with animals for sale in a particular consignment. It is the buyer’s responsibility to assess any risks associated with the purchase of livestock and to determine whether
or not they will accept those risks. Ask the vendor or agent selling the stock to confirm that a consignment does not include any high-risk animals.
