Property identification codes (PICs)

A Property Identification Code (PIC) is a unique eight-character number assigned to a property where livestock are either held or sold. A PIC defines the property spatially, forms the basis of Australia’s food safety and traceability programs, and assists in the identification of properties that may be potentially affected during an animal disease emergency.
