Breakthrough In Beef Industry For Anitech
TORONTO, ONTARIO--Nilsson Bros. Inc will start a three month trial of Anitech's DT-500 Data Collection System at its two XL Beef plants. At the end of the trial, Nilsson Bros. will have the option of purchasing Anitech's system. The costs of the trial are being underwritten by the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency to facilitate a new national program of electronic identification for cattle. The DT-500 system will help beef packers meet the data collection requirements associated with the cattle identification program. A number of other beef packers in Canada and the United States are considering Anitech's system.
Anitech's DT-500 system is a proprietary computer and software system that helps meat packers keep detailed production records on individual carcasses and respond to new global regulatory requirements known as HACCP. Data is collected and collated in real time and can be accessed through an internal network or the Internet. Anitech also sells annual service agreements with the DT-500 system. Anitech's DT-500 system is already well established in the pork sector at plants owned by Maple Leaf Meats, Schneider Meats, Weston Abattoir, and Best Brands. Last year, the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board ordered Anitech's system for four plants.
In addition to the livestock sector, Anitech is a leader in the fast growing pet industry. Anitech's PetNet microchip ID system for pets is distributed at 80% of all Canadian veterinary clinics. Over 400,000 pets are microchipped and registered with PetNet. Anitech also offers a PetNet Visa card in partnership with The Royal Bank and Anitech will be launching an Internet e-commerce portal for its growing pet database of pet owners in an alliance with AOL Canada.
