The system will inquire if you like to move the animal (DIRECT MOVEMENT) to this holding. Cancel this action and check the re-number you are entering. If the message repeats, it means that the animal has already been created. In this case, please contact your administrator. Direct movement should be used only if authorized by your supervisor.
	Step 8: For imported animals from other than EU countries the ear tags and their numbers must be replaced with a Georgian ear tag and number. If the owner wants to, the EU ear tags/numbers can be also replaced with Georgian. After adding the new Georgian number, also add their original and select the country of origin.
	Step 9: Select the date when the animal has been registered and add the details on the animal appearance (type, gender, color, breed).
	Step 10: Add the birth date of the animal If the exact birth day is not known, leave the box empty and add in the indicted boxes the estimated age in years/months.
