Benefits of NAIS

NAIS will benefit agri-businesses, by allowing the ability to trace a disease to premises of origin and all exposed animals within 48 hours. It will also eventually replace all current disease monitoring and eradication programs that currently exist, and provide one central program that can encompass all species and diseases. [14] It may also increase confidence in the United States' animal products providing the oppurtunity to maintain current and open new marketing opportunities for producers by providing a reliable source and age verification program. Several other countries already have programs in place, and NAIS would help compete with those markets that require source and age verification (like the Japanese beef market).
