RFID Technology Used In Avian Flu

For anyone who has been following the current bird flu epidemic in Asia, they will be relieved to know that a US company called Digital Angel Corporation has invented a biothermal chip that can let farmers know that the bird has the flu.

According to Kevin McGrath, the CEO of Digital Angel CEO: “We believe that our proprietary technology should be made available to vulnerable countries and researchers working to control the spread of avian flu. We have had two lakh bio-thermo chips manufactured for this and companion pet applications. We are prepared to work with research institutions and government entities on any further research necessary to control avian flu.”
