"While the USDA currently recognizes traditional RFID tags as an acceptable means of animal identification during disease outbreaks, the industry is clearly moving toward a nationally standardized tracking system with 840 tags as the cornerstone for third-party verification," said Leann Saunders, president of IMI Global. "With this in mind, IMI Global is now positioned to provide 840 tags as an option for producers seeking to go above and beyond what is currently required by the USDA. This move underscores our commitment to providing our customers -- which include producers, feed yards and packers -- with a full range of the most current solutions available."

The Animal Identification Numbering Management System is a Web-based program that records and manages AIN device numbers. The devices are known as 840 tags because each 15-digit number begins with the U.S. country code 840. The final 12 numbers comprise the unique ID number assigned to each animal. The AIN, which is associated with a premises identification number (PIN), links the animal to its birthplace or location of first tagging. When coupled with animal tracing, the AIN tracks and records the animal's movements from location to location, giving animal health officials the ability to quickly identify and track animals involved in a disease outbreak and establish appropriate response measures. Additionally, AIN enhances other processes such as age/source/process verification, quality assurance and Country of Origin Labeling (COOL).
