The producer in physical possession of the animal at the time of birth shall place an electronic ear tag on the left ear of the animal before the enrollment of the animal. The electronic ear tag must be manufactured according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard numbers 11784 and 11785 for tamper-resistant radio frequency identification electronic ear tags. The electronic ear tag must remain on the enrolled animal for as long as the animal is enrolled. If an electronic ear tag is lost or nonfunctioning and the licensed producer seeks to continue enrollment for that animal, the licensed producer shall provide an affidavit to the department showing that identification of the animal has been maintained through an alternative identification method unique to that animal and acceptable to the secretary, and that the animal was subsequently tagged with a replacement electronic ear tag.
