Animal tagging to improve meat, milk
21.12.2010 10:36 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
Residents of Abu Dhabi can expect better quality locally produced meat and milk now in the market thanks to the new «Animal Identification Registration System» (AIRS), introduced by the Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority (ADFCA). The plan is to register an estimated 2.72 million animals in the emirate, which constitute 80 per cent of the animal population in the UAE, two senior ADFCA officials said at a media roundtable yesterday.
The system, developed from the popular «Stable to the Table» food safety norm, involves tagging each animal.
This will be in a bid to help control animal diseases and improve animal health, the officials said.
