The Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX:DOC) is a leading provider of sensor and communications technologies that enable secure and accurate identification, tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value mobile assets. The PigSMART™ System offers producers a swine management tool that automates data collection and storage on individual animals, personnel, and husbandry practices in a paperless manner. A system that can organize and provide instant information to facilitate the decision making process,as well as provide on-demand summary reports for trend analysis and efficiency assessments. Swine producers have long used numerical ear tags or tattoos to identify individual animals. Extensive data collection with these types of ID tools is time consuming and prone to transcription errors. The PigSMART™ System uses Destron electronic ear tags (TX12102S and TX11002) and data collection tools to automate the collection of critical information and events. Data is effortlessly put into electronic records which can easily be reviewed and shared with all parties involved in the production of pork.
