(b)GradeCattle tested for brucellosis shall be identified by breed, sex, approximate age, and either:(1) an officialnumberedeartag;in the right ear;or(2)a legible tattoo number; oranother form of identification approved under345 IAC 1-2.6-3 .(3) an individual brand.A private eartag inserted by the owner or his or her agent, which individually identified each animal in the herd, is permissible as ancillary identification.
(c)Purebred cattle shall be identified by breed, sex, age, and either:(1) an official ear tag in the right ear;(2) a legible registry tattoo or registration number; or(3) an individual brand.All identification is to be reported on test charts.or health certificates.However, if an animal is identified with an official identification number that adheres to the animal identification number (AIN) system, the AIN number is the only form of identification that must be recorded.
(d) Every approved laboratory conducting tests shall immediately report the results thereof to the board on a test chart furnished by the board. The test chart shall be completed in its entirety, including all identification numbers of each animal tested.
(e) All blood tested at approved auction markets and stockyard laboratories shall be sent immediately to the animal disease diagnostic laboratory at Purdue University for confirmation.

(l) An animal will be treated as a vaccinate only if it shows a legible vaccination tattoo. Official vaccination tattoos may be applied to both ears. The following identification practices will result in the animal being treated as a nonvaccinate:(1) Retattooing of vaccinated animals.(2) Retagging of calfhood vaccinated animals with an official calfhood vaccination tag. However, calfhood vaccinated animals may be retagged with an official pass tag when the vaccination tag is lost.(3) Multiple vaccination tattoos in a single ear.(4) Tattooing of an animal that obviously does not correspond with the age of the animal.
