Animal Tracking is one of oldest application of  RFID technology. Since animals(livestock) assets are constantly on the move, traditional methods of identification and data collection have proven quite inefficient, especially in the case of large herds.

Why RFID?

•  RFID overcomes the shortcomings of manual tracking by being fast and accurate

• It does not require a visual or line of sight reading.

• Since radio signals harmlessly penetrate body tissue and most other materials, RFID tags can be safely attached or even implanted inside livestock and will last for the entire lifetime of the animal.

• RFID therefore enables the recording and tracking of individual animals over their entire lifecycle, even in a herd of thousands

• Each RFID tag is unique, a livestock database that keeps track of the animal’s origin, parentage and breed can be easily created.

Livestock tagging using RFID allows the storage of information on each animal pertaining to breeding data, feeding data and yield data. Milking and egglaying records are easily maintained, enabling categorization, individual corrective action or group improvement. RFID helps improve farm management through increased efficiencies, reduced feed and labour costs, enhanced output and improved herd health.
