The Directorate of Veterinary Services requires every producer to complete an Animal Health Declaration every six months. The Animal Health Declaration is an official document and must be submitted to the nearest veterinary office before 31 January 2025 for the period July 2024 to December 2024. The data collected through the submission of the Animal Health Declaration is used for animal disease control, for monitoring animal disease trends, as well as for mandatory reporting to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH). Producers who fail to submit the declarations on time will have a restriction placed on their Stock Brand until the required documentation is submitted. The Livestock Products Board encourages producers to submit their declarations online via the NamLITS system. Declaration forms can also be downloaded from the LLPBN’s website and are available at State Veterinarian offices. Producers submitting forms to State Veterinary Offices must insist on proof of receipt. If the form is submitted by email, it can be sent to Animal.Health@mawlr.gov.na with a request for an acknowledgment of receipt.
