[/]: Israel Barker figure Mitcham lab developed a domestic animal DNA labeling technology, the use of this technology not only to determine the identity of the animals, but also on the market of fresh meat of the species and the security situation.

Buck figure Meacham laboratory is Israel a food, water, environment and other microbial and chemical testing laboratory, this technique is to distinguish the theft of cattle. Researchers in cattle born collecting DNA samples, on this basis, to establish genetic information database. Detection, just a small amount of DNA samples collected by computer analysis for livestock species, born and bred to aspects of the information.

In recent years, in response to public concern about animal outbreaks, researchers began to be used for cattle and other livestock health and safety testing. DNA database, researchers not only to determine whether the detected in cattle is mad cow disease, epidemic infection, can also be differences whether doping in milk and other animal milk; to believe in Judaism, take advantage of this technology can also be judged by eating beef meets the requirement of clean standard practice.

The laboratory of molecular biology expert Aviv? Caja the doctor said that currently, farms, raids by foot and mouth disease outbreak, such as the approach is usually all may be borne off all slaughtered animals, which in fact is not necessary. Take advantage of their research and development of DNA identification technology can be effectively distinguish the health of livestock, for reducing livestock losses have practical significance. For consumers, the technology also can help them gain access to relevant information, such as what you buy beef from a farm, ways of feeding, is genuine, to enhance public confidence in the meat products also is useful.

Allegedly, the recent laboratory programme at national level, on the establishment of a bovine DNA database pilot, if successful, Israel will become the world's first national bovine DNA database owner.
