Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that is rapidly gaining popularity due to its several benefits in a wide area of applications like inventory tracking, supply chain management, automated manufacturing, healthcare, etc. The benefits of implementing RFID technologies can be seen in terms of efficiency (increased speed in production, reduced shrinkage, lower error rates, improved asset tracking etc.) or effectiveness (services that companies provide to the customers). Leading to considerable operational and strategic benefits, RFID technology continues to bring new levels of intelligence and information, strengthening the experience of all participants in this research domain, and serving as a valuable authentication technology. We hope this book will be useful for engineers, researchers and industry personnel, and provide them with some new ideas to address current and future issues they might be facing.

Book excerpt: This report provides a summary of current developments in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) effort to establish a national animal traceability capacity with the intended goal of being able to rapidly identify and respond to an animal disease outbreak. National animal identification and traceability appear to have substantial economic value, yet federal proposals have proven controversial among certain segments of the U.S. cattle industry. This report provides background on animal ID and traceability in general, and the development of the current U.S. system of animal ID and traceability in particular. In addition, it reviews the claims and counter-claims of proponents and opponents of a national animal ID system, and describes many of the unresolved issues related to program development. Finally, two appendixes offer a brief chronology of the development of the U.S. National Animal Identification System (NAIS) and its successor program, and a brief description of the major international organizations involved in setting standards and rules for animal health and trade in animal products, along with summary descriptions of animal ID and traceability programs found in other major livestock producer and consumer countries.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Livestock production contributed nearly $123 billion to the U.S. economy in 2006. In response to concerns about animal disease outbreaks, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced in December 2003 that it would implement a nationwide program-later named the National Animal Identification System (NAIS)-to help producers and animal health officials respond quickly and effectively to animal disease events in the United States. In this context, GAO determined (1) how effectively USDA is implementing NAIS and, specifically, the key issues identified by livestock industry groups, market operators, state officials, and others; (2) how USDA has distributed cooperative agreement funds to help states and industry prepare for NAIS and evaluated the agreements' results; and (3) what USDA and others estimate are the costs for USDA, states, and industry to implement NAIS. In conducting its work, GAO reviewed USDA documents; interviewed agency, industry, and state officials; and consulted 32 animal identification (ID) experts.

In response to concerns about animal disease outbreaks, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced in December 2003 that it would implement a nation-wide program -- later named the National Animal Identification System (NAIS)-to help producers and animal health officials respond quickly and effectively to animal disease events in the United States.

Book excerpt: On 5 February 2010, Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack announced that the USDA was revising its approach to achieving a national capability for animal disease traceability. The previous plan, called the National Animal Identification System (NAIS), first proposed in 2002, was being abandoned. In its place, the USDA proposes a new approach that will allow individual states (and tribal nations) to choose their own degree of within-state animal identification and traceability for livestock populations. Under this revised focus, states may choose to have no mandatory animal ID and traceability capability, or to rely on existing ID systems already in place to fight brucellosis, tuberculosis, and other contagious animal diseases, or to develop their own version of a more detailed birth-to-market ID system. This book provides a summary of current developments in the USDA's effort to establish a national animal traceability capacity with the intended goal of being able to rapidly identify and respond to an animal disease outbreak.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of consumer safety and world market impacts of animal diseases, including the 2003 outbreak of BSE or mad cow, the U.S. government is developing a National Animal Identification System (NAIS). Its goal is to "be able to identify all animals and premises that have had contact with a foreign or domestic animal disease of concern within 48 hours after discovery." The initiative is supported by many large agribusinesses and corporate farm dominated associations. In Wisconsin, the legislature has committed the state to being one of the first implementers of the new system. Family Farm Defenders, a politically progressive, community-based advocacy group in Madison, Wisconsin, and many within its networks, believe that NAIS will have a negative impact on the state's small family farms. They fear that corporations have hidden agendas, that the system will be an economic burden on struggling farmers, that it will intrude on the farmer'rights to privacy, as well as the religious rights of many farmers, including the Amish. This paper describes and critiques these competing analyses. It then discusses the advocacy strategy used by Family Farm Defenders to block implementation of NAIS in Wisconsin and the outcomes of those efforts, including the strengths and weaknesses of the advocacy effort. The paper concludes with general lessons to be learned from their campaign.
Download or read book Improving Food Safety Through a One Health Approach written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization of the food supply has created conditions favorable for the emergence, reemergence, and spread of food-borne pathogens-compounding the challenge of anticipating, detecting, and effectively responding to food-borne threats to health. In the United States, food-borne agents affect 1 out of 6 individuals and cause approximately 48 million illnesses, 128,000 hospitalizations, and 3,000 deaths each year. This figure likely represents just the tip of the iceberg, because it fails to account for the broad array of food-borne illnesses or for their wide-ranging repercussions for consumers, government, and the food industry-both domestically and internationally. A One Health approach to food safety may hold the promise of harnessing and integrating the expertise and resources from across the spectrum of multiple health domains including the human and veterinary medical and plant pathology communities with those of the wildlife and aquatic health and ecology communities. The IOM's Forum on Microbial Threats hosted a public workshop on December 13 and 14, 2011 that examined issues critical to the protection of the nation's food supply. The workshop explored existing knowledge and unanswered questions on the nature and extent of food-borne threats to health. Participants discussed the globalization of the U.S. food supply and the burden of illness associated with foodborne threats to health; considered the spectrum of food-borne threats as well as illustrative case studies; reviewed existing research, policies, and practices to prevent and mitigate foodborne threats; and, identified opportunities to reduce future threats to the nation's food supply through the use of a "One Health" approach to food safety. Improving Food Safety Through a One Health Approach: Workshop Summary covers the events of the workshop and explains the recommendations for future related workshops.
