OSPRI

OSPRI works with New Zealand’s farming industry to manage animal disease and support the health and traceability of livestock. Its work brings together national programmes and practical services for farmers, livestock owners, meat processors, saleyards, information providers, tag manufacturers, and other industry participants. Through the NAIT programme, OSPRI helps users register animals and locations, apply identification tags, record livestock movements, and maintain animal information.

Its TBfree programme supports bovine tuberculosis management, including testing guidance, herd status information, and local response resources. OSPRI also provides information and programme support relating to Mycoplasma bovis, alongside guidance on possum control and pest management operations. Online tools such as MyOSPRI help users manage accounts, farming and processing locations, roles, animal records, and Animal Status Declarations.

The website offers detailed instructions, forms, maps, programme updates, and resources tailored to different industry groups. By coordinating disease-control activities and livestock information services, OSPRI helps the sector meet its responsibilities and respond to animal-health risks across New Zealand
