Israel plans Buck Beauchamp developed a laboratory animal DNA labeling technology

Israel plans Buck Beauchamp developed a laboratory animal DNA labeling technology, the use of technology can not only determine the identity of the livestock, but also the variety of meat on the market situation and safety testing.

Timbuktu Beacham laboratory Israel is engaged in a food, water, environment and micro-organisms, such as chemical detection laboratory professionals, the technology is to identify the stolen cattle developed. Researchers at birth in cattle that is collecting DNA samples, based on this genetic information to establish the database. Detection, only a small amount of DNA samples collected through computer analysis, to get the animal species, born and reared in such areas.

In recent years, the public response to the concerns of livestock disease, researchers began to apply the technology to cattle and other livestock health and safety testing. The use of DNA database, researchers can determine whether the cow had been tested by the outbreak of mad cow disease, such as infections, may also distinguish whether a mix of milk in the milk and other livestock; of the Jewish people, the use of technology can also be judged Eat beef with the rules provided for in cleanliness standards.

The laboratory of molecular biology expert caja Aviv, said that, at present, subject to a livestock farm, such as foot-and-mouth epidemic after the attack, the approach taken by the normally all likely to be infected livestock slaughtered all out, it is unnecessary . Use of their research and development of DNA labeling technology, can effectively distinguish between the health of livestock, livestock losses to reduce the practical significance. To consumers, the technology can also help them to obtain relevant information, such as by buying beef from the farm which, in what manner to feed, whether or not genuine, and so on, which is to enhance public confidence in meat products would also be useful.

It is said that the laboratory in the near future plan on the establishment of a nationwide cattle DNA database pilot, if successful, Israel will have to become the world's first national DNA database of cattle.
