Schering-Plough Corporation announces that a new computer-based tracing system for livestock, VeriSource[TM], is being introduced by Global Animal Management Inc. Global Animal Management, a wholly owned subsidiary of Schering-Plough Animal Health Corp., developed the system to meet the needs of the food production animal industry. With the recent increased attention to food safety and pending animal identification legislation, the tracing and tracking features of this system have become even more relevant, says James F. Heinle, president of Global Animal Management.
