U.S. moving to high-tech livestock tracking
If there's a bright side to the U.S. mad cow scare, it's that it could speed
the country's move to a centralized system that electronically tracks animals
as they move from fields to feedlots to food stores. Efforts to create a
centralized database, which exist in some countries, including Canada, have
been slowed so far by disputes over who would maintain the database and who
would bear its cost. Such a database could let agricultural officials
determine within hours where a sick animal came from and where it went, a
crucial step in a disease outbreak or a terrorist assault on the food supply.
