Optibrand's Secure Identity Preservation system provides the necessary identification and traceback capabilities required for animal disease control. Foot-and-Mouth Disease, for example, is highly infectious and difficult to contain. An FMD outbreak can devastate herds and result in severe economic damage to producers and even entire countries.
