The data set is a extract consisting of information about cattle individuals registered with the Norwegian Food Safety Authority as of the specified date. Data in the Housing Register reflect what has been reported at all times.
There may be discrepancies between what appears in the Norwegian Food Safety Authority’s Housing Register and what is actually the case by direct observation.
Deviations can be due to everything from misrepresentations, via delays, to inadequate reporting. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority cannot guarantee that all actors meet their reporting obligations.Nor can the Norwegian Food Safety Authority accept that all data has been correctly filled in by those who have reported.
See here for a detailed description of what should be reported and who is subject to the reporting obligation:

**Explanation to the individual fields** **Original label:**
For Norwegian-born individuals, this is a combination of the first eight digits from the producer number (see Manufacturer No.) from where the animal is born and a four-digit individual number.
Cattle from countries other than Norway may have a label of origin built up in a different way.
* Country of origin:**
Name of the country of origin of the individual
**Individ brand:**
This is a combination of either 1) the first eight digits of the producer number (see this) from where the animal is born and a four-digit individual number, or 2) a seven-digit animal husbandry ID and a five-digit individual number.
If the individual is born in Norway, the individual mark is identical to that of origin.
**Individ status:**
Examples of status are &Complete &, &Dyr transferred. Lack of report from buyer &, &Dyr transferred. Lack of report from the seller., "Dyr slaughtered. Lacks report from the slaughterhouse., "Dyr reported transferred from the live animal dealer/slaquot.Lacks report from buyer and seller.
Lack of report from animal husbandry.
Individuals have a status that depends on the events that have been reported.Many events are individual events, which means that they are reported by only one party using one event.
An example of this is &#39;Newborn animals marked the first time.
These events have status complete and either cause an animal to be created with status complete or if the animal already exists, the animal’s status is not affected.
Events involving displacement require two, three, or possibly four events.This is because all interested parties should report both when an animal enters the animal husbandry and when it exits the animal husbandry.
This applies to movement between animal husbandry, with or without animal dealers, and transfer to slaughterhouse and slaughter.
All events relating to transfer between animal husbandry or slaughter require that the status of the animal is complete before the first event in the movement can be recorded.
An individual’s status can be representative only at the moment the data has been extracted from the Housing Register.That an individual appears as “complete &raquo”;
or with ‘laquo’; Missing reports &
may result in correctness at the moment the data was extracted, but perhaps not immediately afterwards.
*Born:**
Date of birth in the format dd.mm.ååå
*Gender:**
The gender of the individual is either ‘quick’/ku &raquo;for female or & &Okse &raquo;
for the masculine
**Rase code:**
Consists of the text “LANDDYR$” + a number code For explanation of the number code see <http://www.mattilsynet.no/integrasjonsstotte/KODEVERK_RASETYPE_no.html>
**Race:**
Race is the term for race code &
in plain text.
**Rase designation:**
Here the breed can appear to the father (the first 16 digits) and the mother (the last 16 digits respectively).
There are two and two digits in pairs that make up the code.
For an overview of the two-digit codes see here:
<HTTP://WWW.MATTILSYNET.NO/INTEGRASJONSSTOTTE/KODEVERK_RASETYPE_I_TEXTCODE_NO.HTML>
**Mormark:**
If the individual’s mother was born in Norway, the mother’s mark is built up in the same way as the individual mark.
**Manufacturer:**
Contains 10-digit manufacturer number.
Construction of producer number:
Municipal number 4 digits + farm number 4 digits + a sequential number 2 digits.
**Company No.:**
This corresponds to what is referred to in the Brønnøysund Register as ‘Organisation Number & Raquo’.
**Calving date:**
This is the last calving date recorded in the Animal Register of an individual.
Calving as such is not a notifiable event.
It is the event of a newborn calf marked for the first time that is subject to notification.
Information about the date of birth and the mother’s mark of origin are among the mandatory information about this event.
The calculation date is derived from this information.
Calving dates may be missing or not updated.
The reason could be, for example:
A cow may have had a calf that died before it was marked.
* The calf is not registered in the livestock register with the event “newborn calf marked the first time”.
