New technology in animal identification has been implemented by the USDA. It is known as the 'National Animal Identification System'. The US does not currently have a mandatory animal ID program, but are trying to start one with this system. This system will be mainly for tracing disease outbreaks back to the host. It will help to find which animals are in the outbreak, where they are located, and what other animals may have been exposed. For more information, visit the USDA website here.
