Digital Angel Enters LifeChip Distribution Agreement With The Jockey Club
St. Paul MN (SPX) Mar 13, 2008 Digital Angel announced it has entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with The Jockey Club, the official breed registry for North American Thoroughbred horses. The new agreement allows Thoroughbred breeders, owners, managers and agents the ability to obtain Destron Fearing LifeChip radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchips from The Jockey Club for use in Thoroughbred horses. LifeChip equine microchips contain a passive transponder programmed with a unique 15-digit ISO-compliant number. Once in place, the unique and unalterable microchip number can provide additional confidence when identifying a Thoroughbred throughout its lifetime. They can also assist in establishing the identity of horses that have been lost or stolen. Use of microchips in Thoroughbreds has gained increasing acceptance internationally among foreign stud book authorities seeking convenient and reliable means of confirming the identity of Thoroughbreds in transit or involved in competition. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved LifeChip equine microchips as the first of its kind for use in the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). Joseph J. Grillo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Digital Angel, said, "This distribution agreement with The Jockey Club is a milestone for the Thoroughbred industry; we are very proud to have one of the most respected breed registries in the world select our products." Grillo continued, "For more than 20 years, people around the world have used microchips to reliably and safely identify their dogs and cats. As the original innovators of electronic animal identification, our Company is proud to be a primary catalyst for positive change."
