Livestock leaders launch ID effort

The Kansas Animal Health Department has announced a coordinated promotional campaign, called “Locate in 48,” to encourage the state’s livestock owners to participate in a premises identification program.

Locate In 48 refers to a system designed to allow 48-hour traceback if an animal disease outbreak were to occur.
