Animals move from one farm to another and their movement cannot be controlled or stored like any other product. The manual process of data entering about the number of animals enters and exit from the farm is time consuming resulting in more possibilities of errors. RFID Technology is largely used nowadays to track and record animal information, where direct line-of-sight is not practical.
RFID based Animal Tracking and identification are used the world over to track history and movement of farm animals, zoo animals, and pet animals. It is necessary to maintain records regarding animal origin, health, nutrition, the threat of disease and so on. These records ensure timely and proper feeding, vaccinating and transferring of animals between farms. Manual data entry is time-consuming and prone to high errors. These challenges are overcome through the adoption of RFID technology which automates and quickens the process of feeding, weighing, disease control, subsidies, breeding practices as well as quality and traceability assurance. It also ensures accurate data recording and efficient animal management.
Benefits of using RFID tags for livestock management:
Food quality has become an important issue in the last decade. However, achieving end‐to‐end traceability across the supply chain is currently quite a challenge from a technical, co‐ordination and a cost perspective. The paper contributes by suggesting a specific technological approach, exploiting the new possibilities provided by RFID technology, to address these issues.
Across the globe, Regulations that mandate the ability to trace the origins of food are being put in place to control the food chain, provide safer food supplies, and prevent bioterrorism.
Benefits with RFID:
Omnia provides a number of LF and UHF tags which can be used in food traceability for packaged food and crate identification
Contactless radio frequency identification (RFID) systems provide a secure and convenient solution for a number of animal identification applications including livestock tracking, and the tagging of pets and racing pigeons For pigeon racing, electronic pigeon rings are used for fraud protection at pigeon races. To prevent fraud, the tags need to be encoded and as a result, authentication issues play a major role in this market.
