Brazilian National Identification Solutions Provided by AgInfoLink

Longmont, CO - August 31, 2004 - DOMINAR Ltda., a Brazilian-based animal identification and certification company, has recently renewed their contract for information services with AgInfoLink USA, Inc. DOMINAR Ltda. recently formed subsidiary, AGIL Rastreamento Ltda., who has been working with AgInfoLink’s governmental compliance technology group to register animals and their movements into the Brazilian national system (SISBOV-- Brazilian System of Identification and Certification of Origin for Bovine and Buffalo) since 2002. AGIL Rastreamento Ltda. is one of the authorized data collection systems certified by the Brazilian government, and it is the only all-electronic system.

Brazil, with almost twice the national herd size of the United States, has embarked upon a multi-year, multi-phase program to register their national herd and provide a register of national herd movement.

AGIL Rastreamento Ltda.’s inventive electronic certification process is powered by data collection and secure data sharing technology licensed from AgInfoLink. According to Mark Armentrout, AgInfoLink Chief Operating Officer, “We’ve worked with our partners in Brazil to design and implement a complete system that includes premises management, accurate and secure data collection, governmental compliance reporting, and a management software interface.” While SISBOV requires twenty-two pieces of information for each animal, the AgInfoLink solution allows them to collect much more data and provide additional value to the animal owner. Ranchers get one stop shopping - regulatory compliance with the national system, plus value traceability that improves their herd management.”

“While the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) in the United States is just getting off the ground, we have been working with clients in other countries to develop solutions for governmental compliance for several years now.” says Armentrout. “Our experience and industry leading technologies are an asset as we design and implement similar systems here in the USA.”

Jose Pereira, DOMINAR Director says, “AgInfoLink technologies have allowed us to quickly include SISBOV animal registration to the services we provide to our customers. The system is secure and flexible while remaining easy for our field staff to operate. We look forward to our continued relationship with AgInfoLink.”

AgInfoLink, a leading global information solutions provider, envisions a food industry where linked information and traceability provide enhanced business performance, regulatory compliance, and overall food security.
