Article 15 Replacement of the means of identification for animals identified according to Article 13I1

Where an animal identified according to Article 13 loses one means of identification, or that means of identification becomes illegible the keeper must replace it with one bearing the same identification code or remove the remaining identification device and re-identify the animal according to Article 13.

Where an animal identified according to Article 13 loses both means of identification, or both means of identification become illegible the keeper must re-identify the animal according to Article 13.

If the animal is no longer on its holding of birth, or it is not known whether the animal is still on its holding of birth, the keeper must use a red means of identification. This does not apply where the means of identification is a bolus or an identification device matching a bolus.
