Business Wire, June 12, 2007
SO. ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX:DOC), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking and condition monitoring of high-value assets, announced today it has received an order to supply the Department of Veterinary Services in Serbia with 200,000 pet identification microchips. The microchips will be used as part of a Serbian national campaign to build responsible pet ownership. Serbia plans to provide the pet identification microchips as well as rabies vaccination for free, to create a safe environment for pet adoption and thereby to control and reduce the stray dog population.
Dr. Bratislav Milosevic, Head of the Institute of Veterinary Medicine of Serbia, who administered the tender, said, "We are happy to use these high quality microchips produced in an ISO certified transponder-manufacturing plant that were offered to us at a competitive price. This is exactly the combination we were looking for and which will guarantee success for our project. Furthermore, as an additional advantage, Digital Angel was able to provide these microchips to us in a very short period of time."
Digital Angel President and Chief Executive Officer Kevin McGrath said, "This order from Serbia demonstrates that, around the world, governments and pet owners alike are becoming increasingly aware of options that enable them to protect their pets. We hope to continue to expand our presence in the pet identification market, both domestically and abroad, and we have the capacity to do so."
