RFID technology helps poultry breeding traceability management

With the advancement of technology and the improvement of consumers' awareness of food safety, the application of RFID (radio frequency identification) technology in livestock breeding traceability management has become increasingly popular. By marking poultry, RFID technology can realize the automatic collection and management of poultry information during the breeding process, making the breeding process more scientific and transparent, and greatly improving the level of food safety and traceability management.

The application of RFID technology in livestock breeding traceability management mainly includes identifying and tracking poultry information, monitoring the breeding environment, and managing breeding production. By implanting an RFID chip on each bird and installing an RFID Reader for information collection, the tracking, positioning and monitoring of individual birds in the farm can be achieved. At the same time, a unified information File can be established for poultry, including breed, birthday, gender, vaccination status and other information, so that managers can understand the health status and growth of poultry in real time.

Let’s talk about the system functional components. RFID technology can help managers establish a poultry breeding production management platform and achieve comprehensive management and control of the growth stages of poultry by establishing poultry breeding production files. Supervision of the entire process of poultry’s birth, feeding, disease prevention, breeding environment monitoring, and slaughter and sales ensures the safety and stability of poultry breeding production.

1. Data statistics: The system can automatically count the total number of farmed animals, the number of messages received, the sales amount and the total number of orders.

2. Data analysis: The system can analyze data according to week, month, and year, and form corresponding charts for display. You can intuitively see the curve of the data.

3. Batch management: You can manage batches of animals and record the suppliers, logistics information and time status of the batch of animals. From this stage, the system uses batches as the primary classification, and the traceability is first traced back to a certain batch. .

4. Animal marking (banding on adult chickens): At a certain stage of the animal's growth, specific marks are placed on it for easy recording. This system takes chicken raising as an example. In the young chicken stage, a uniquely coded RFID anklet is worn on the foot. There is an RFID chip inside the ring, and a corresponding QR code on the surface to facilitate later traceability.

5. Slaughter: The slaughtering stage is also classified according to batches. The slaughterhouse registers detailed information according to the batch, and uses fixed inventory equipment to read the RFID chip in the anklet, and the slaughterhouse and The information of the slaughtering personnel is bound to the chip to facilitate later traceability.

6. Traceability: When the young chickens wear anklets, traceability really begins. The growth environment, breeding personnel, feeding feed, vaccines and other information of the adult chickens will be recorded in the RFID anklets, and the slaughterhouse will record the slaughtering environment, slaughterhouses, etc. Personnel and other information are recorded in the RFID anklet and corresponding records will be made in subsequent cold chain links. By scanning the QR code on the surface of the anklet, you can see a series of traceability information.

So, what is the implementation process of this system?

1. Install electronic ID Card

Taking chicken farming as an example, the first step in chicken farming and tracking based on UHF RFID is to install an electronic ID card on the chicken to create a permanent digital file for each chicken to uniquely identify each chicken. Attributes.

2. Chicken breeding

Through ultra-high frequency RFID handheld devices, RFID tags and supporting auxiliary means, the entire feeding process is tracked, integrated with the back-end livestock production management system, and connected with the livestock quarantine and inspection system of the industry authorities. At the same time, relevant information is input into the meat Food supervision platform.

3. Chicken transportation

Deploy crossing monitoring systems at different transportation nodes to monitor the entire transportation process and provide activities such as animal quarantine inspection and transportation disinfection. At the same time, relevant information is input into the meat food supervision platform.

4. Animal slaughter

Realize the verification and confirmation of the health status of poultry, integrate the back-end management system of the slaughterhouse, and at the same time, relevant information is input into the meat food supervision platform.

5. Chicken processing

Through UHF RFID technology and barcode technology, the association between poultry information and chicken information is realized. At the same time, the relevant information is input into the meat food supervision platform.

6. Chicken wholesale and retail

Accelerate the efficiency of the logistics link, trace its source information through barcode technology, and strengthen its market transaction management. At the same time, relevant information is input into the meat food supervision platform.

The application advantages of RFID technology in poultry breeding traceability management are very significant. First, it can reduce manual management workload and management costs. Traditional poultry registration and management work requires a lot of manpower and capital, while RFID technology can realize automated management while saving costs. Secondly, RFID technology can not only track and supervise poultry information, but also effectively protect consumers’ right to know and rights, because RFID technology allows consumers to understand the production process of food and evaluate and judge its quality. Finally, RFID technology also plays a great role in improving food safety. When food safety problems occur, managers can quickly locate and trace the problem through RFID technology to avoid further expansion of risks.

The expansion of the RFID poultry breeding traceability management system can also be done like this: monitoring the breeding environment. Readers and writers can be installed in key parts of the farm, such as drinking water stations, feed stations, environmental control systems, etc., to monitor key parameters in real time, such as temperature, humidity, air quality, etc., helping managers to detect and deal with environmental abnormalities in a timely manner. , to ensure the healthy growth of poultry.

The application of RFID technology in poultry breeding traceability management realizes truthful, seamless and scientific information collection and management, and improves the level of food safety and traceability management. In the future, with the continuous development and improvement of technology, RFID technology will become an indispensable part of poultry breeding management.
