Connecting your APHIS account with AgriWebb is an important first step for cattle farmers in Northern Ireland.

Start by ensuring you have the correct credentials for the APHIS Online Service.

What are the correct credentials?

A dialog box will prompt for the Government Body you wish to connect to;

Select the Farm required, from a list showing all farms in the region supported by APHIS; your APHIS credentials are not needed at this time.

If no identifier is set, it is possible to set the identifier at this point, which will then make the connection available to select. This is your Herd Number.

Press Connect and the connection details will be tested, and a connection will be established.

When a connection to the APHIS Online system is required, you will be prompted to enter your credentials in a 'pop-up' window.

If you have trouble connecting, verify your connection details with DAERA and make sure to type your password rather than copying and pasting it in.
