What is a Premises Identification Number (PIN)?

A Premises Identification Number or PIN is a permanent unique number assigned by KDA to a geographically unique location associated with animal agriculture. Registering your premises and obtaining a PIN will provide KDA location information that will allow for more accurate and efficient disease tracing and disease control efforts in the event of a foreign animal disease outbreak.
