Electronic identification (EID) of animals is using technology to individually identify animals. ... The approach with EID is to attach a small electronic chip to the animal. This chip is programmed with a unique number. A machine called a reader can quickly trigger the chip to send out a signal with the unique number. ... The reader provides the information to a computer data base that quickly locates and makes available the information on the animal. 3, record 2, English, - electronic%20identification%20of%20animals

Improvements in food safety ... reliable and uniform animal identification system. Public health would benefit from the development of such a system because this would permit accountability for and prevention of food safety hazards, including residues and harmful pathogens. ... the public would benefit because data collection and long-term research studies are currently hampered by the lack of animal identification.
