Digital Angel Corporation Demonstrates Technology at House
Agriculture Committee Exposition
SO. ST. PAUL, Minn., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Angel
Corporation (AMEX:DOC), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid
and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of
high-value assets, participated in a technology exposition for the House
Agriculture Committee on Capitol Hill today.
President & CEO Kevin McGrath commented, "We found the technology exposition to
be exciting and informative. In particular, Digital Angel demonstrated a
variety of technologies in the field of tracking and identification, most
notably, RFID tags and chips, scanners, and state-of-the-art herd management
software. Moreover, I must say we found ourselves in good company, because the
range of technologies together forms an ideal pool for a national livestock ID
program such as the one that Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman has endorsed.
Our technology can be rolled out quickly in quantities to cover the entire
national livestock population as soon as we are called upon to do so."
Commenting about the House Agriculture Technology Exposition, Congressman Gil
Gutknecht, Republican from Minnesota said, "I was pleased that the House
Agriculture Committee held the Livestock Technology Expo today. Agriculture is
truly becoming a high tech industry. Technology providers, such as Digital
Angel, will play a critical role in the future of agriculture by bringing added
value to the U.S. livestock industry."
Also commenting on the House Agriculture Technology Exposition, Congressman
Betty McCollum, Democrat from Minnesota, said, "I am proud of South St. Paul
company Digital Angel and am glad they participated in today's House
exposition. Minnesota families can also be proud that Minnesota companies are
helping to protect the safety of our food supply. As Digital Angel
demonstrated at today's presentation, the company's technology will help ensure
that our country has the best livestock identification and tracking system in
the world."
McGrath also said, "Our microchip technology is an inexpensive and efficient
basis for animal tracking, whether it is for the purpose of tracing the source
of a future outbreak of Mad Cow Disease, for other health reasons, or for
efficient herd management. We have implemented programs dealing with cattle,
swine, fisheries -- and all of them have proven effective. We certainly join
with those on Capitol Hill who urge the Department of Agriculture to move with
all deliberate speed to implement a national animal ID program to protect the
health of the nation's herds and the safety of the national food supply."
