Sec. 55.25  Animal identification.

means of animal identification must be approved for this use by APHIS, 
and must be an electronic implant, flank tattoo, ear tattoo, tamper-
resistant ear tag, or other device approved by APHIS. One of the animal 
identifications must be official animal identification as defined in 
this part, with a nationally unique animal identification number that is 
linked to that animal in the CWD National Database. The second animal 
identification must be unique for the individual animal within the herd 
and also must be linked to that animal and herd in the CWD National 
Database.
