This paper describes a novel antibody-based livestock movement control tool and method of meat allocation, both in livestock husbandry as well as during the meat-processing chain. Immuno Track fulfills diverse prerequisites and meets regulatory demands which are substantial for a successful monitoring technology: (i) the induction of long-lasting antibody responses detectable onsite throughout the whole mast period of pigs, (ii) a single immunization injection with protein derivatives is sufficient to evoke a strong epitope-specific antibody response, and (iii) the complete degradation of the protein markers after the antibody response has been triggered in meatproducing animals such as cattle or pigs. There are diverse fields of application for the Immuno-Track marker technology, such as in quality meat programs, as compliance markers for animal vaccines or as a tool for verification of origin. Combination of this monitoring technology with the husbandry and identification databases for cattle and pigs within the European Community will lead to greater transparency in meat production, thereby regaining consumers' trust in concomitant structures of the meat-producing industry.
