Precision Farming
edit"Merck got into cow collars in 2019 when it bought Allflex, a company that makes them, betting that the animal health industry would grow. Merck sells the collars and software for a monthly subscription of around $3 a cow and monitors over two million cows, or 20 percent of the U.S. herd. The company also sells ear tags that light up blue to show farmers which cows to tend to."(NewYorktimes, 2025)

1. Please remove the last two sentences of the fourth paragraph of the article: The original Merck of Darmstadt holds the rights to the name Merck in all countries except the U.S. and Canada, where it is known as EMD (Emanuel Merck, Darmstadt), and the life science business specifically is known as MilliporeSigma. In 2015 Merck adopted a uniform brand identity for all its subsidiaries, and the company has stressed its intention to protect the brand of "the real Merck" globally and initiated litigation against its former subsidiary over use of the name.
Merck KGaA of Darmstadt holds the rights to the name Merck in all countries except the U.S. and Canada, where its businesses operate under "EMD Serono" in Healthcare, "MilliporeSigma" in Life Science and "EMD Electronics" in Electronics. Merck & Co., Inc. holds the rights in the trademark MERCK in the United States and Canada.
