Animal-ID was formed by bringing together many years of experience in the beef industry and the inventory control software systems business. This company will provide a state of the art inventory management system to identify specific animals in the United States and record their movement over their lifespan. The Animal-ID system meets the current standards from the USDA for the National Animal Identification System and includes tools to aid all segments of the industry to insure a safe and secure food product to the American public.
In response to growing worldwide concerns for the safety of the food supply there is a need to track product from producer to consumer. Recent confirmed cases of BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) in the United States, and FMD (Foot and Mouth Disease) in Great Britain and Ireland has heightened the public perception of the need for source verification of food products. There is also an underlying concern regarding the terrorist threat of tampering with the safety of the American food supply which is another reason for source verification. In the event of the need to trace the origin of the animal, the ability to respond quickly is not only desirable but necessary. Animal-ID's system of accurate identification and source verification are important not only for disease control and security, but also for effective overall animal management.
Animal-ID will always provide a safe, secure, and user friendly system to capture, maintain, and report the necessary information for comprehensive source verification.
