RFID enables more efficient and intelligent management of livestock

Animal husbandry combines RFID technology to realize the automation and intelligent management of animal husbandry, especially in large-scale farms. The number of farmed animals has been bothering every farmer. Relying on manual counting and statistics can easily cause inaccurate data. The software of the RFID animal husbandry management system has changed from traditional livestock farm management to RFID technology management, which reflects the process of technology changing the breeding state. RFID allows animal husbandry to implement more efficient and intelligent management.

RFID technology is mainly used in the breeding process of animal husbandry management, including intelligent weighing, intelligent feeding, intelligent identification and inventory, animal breeding, epidemic prevention and control management, etc. The advantages of RFID technology in animal husbandry management are gradually highlighted. Many large pig, cattle and sheep breeding companies use RFID tag technology to manage animals. In this technology, animal tags are mainly used for wireless communication with readers. Animal tags are worn on the ears of animals, and the tags carry animal identity information. The reader can identify, track and exchange data on animal tags, thereby automatically identifying and tracking animals to achieve the purpose of scientific breeding and intelligent management.

Smart weighing

By installing an RFID electronic tag animal ear tag identification reader in the animal weighing channel or automatic weighing machine, when the animal passes through the weighing channel or automatic weighing machine, the reader automatically collects the ear tag information and uploads the weight data to the terminal system. Simplify the work of measuring animal weight and obtain all animal weight data at one time, so as to better adjust the feeding management strategy, and the stage evaluation of fattening pig growth will also be more accurate (compared with the traditional visual evaluation method.)

Smart feeding

By installing an RFID electronic tag animal ear identification reader in the feeding trough, when the animal drinks water and eats, it will be identified according to the animal weight information and repeated feeding information, and the corresponding amount of water and feed will be fed to achieve scientific feeding. Reduce unnecessary feed waste.

Smart identification and inventory

The animal wears an RFID electronic tag ear tag, and the RFID electronic tag ear tag identification reader is installed in the channel door or feeding pen. When the animal passes through the channel door or feeding pen, it can be automatically counted, and the collected information can be uploaded to the terminal management background in real time for data aggregation. RFID feeding pens and inspection doors are installed to automatically record whether the animals are out of the pen and whether they are returned to the pen, reducing the probability of errors.

Epidemic prevention

Animal epidemic prevention management records the epidemic prevention information of each animal through RFID. If the animal shows symptoms or an epidemic occurs, the manager will quickly detect the infected animal through the animal activity information, and change the fence management in time to avoid group infection.

Breeding optimization

Livestock breeding records the growth information of each generation through RFID, which helps to select high-quality breeds for breeding.

In modern livestock farms, by wearing RFID electronic tags and binding with the identity information of the animal, the animal number, individual weight, individual species, breeding information and other information are recorded. Each RFID tag has a unique tag code to prevent information confusion during inventory.

After the animal wears the electronic tag, each animal has its own identity. When counting the number of animals, all the information of the animal can be obtained by scanning the RFID electronic tag with a handheld or fixed RFID electronic ear tag reader. After the scan is completed, the statistical results can be seen and uploaded to the background server.
