U.S. CattleTrace has formed a strategic alliance with Where Food Comes From Inc. to advance a voluntary animal disease traceability initiative for the U.S. beef industry.
The groups said this partnership offers cattle producers economic benefits through verification programs while enhancing disease traceability, supporting biosecurity efforts and the sustainability of U.S. beef production.
“The need for the industry to unite around one effort to accomplish animal disease traceability is paramount to achieving a nationally significant contact tracing program,” said Joe Leathers, chairman of the U.S. CattleTrace Board of Directors.
