Paper ASDs - time to make the move?

Posted on Friday, 13 February 2026 under Latest Edition,

Paperwork may not be a favourite job, but accurate traceability is essential to protect our sector and maintain market access. It underpins biosecurity, protects New Zealand’s reputation, and all that starts with getting Animal Status Declarations (ASDs) right.

If you’re still using paper ASDs, please make sure you’re using the current version (download it here). Outdated forms create delays and unnecessary follow-up.

Better still, consider switching to MyOSPRI and completing your ASDs electronically.

MyOSPRI is faster, reduces errors, eliminates lost paperwork, and creates a secure and clear digital record of every consignment. It also helps us clear livestock without unnecessary delays.

Once registered, your contact and farm details are saved in the system, so you’re not writing the same information every time.

Register for MyOSPRI here.

If you’d like support getting set up, please contact your ANZCO Foods Livestock Representative.
