RFID technology provides scientific management for livestock farms

Under the trend of smart agriculture, RFID technology is increasingly used in livestock management, and modern livestock farm management has appeared in major farms. With the vigorous promotion of RFID technology, it has been widely used in industrial, medical, Asset MANAGEMENT and other fields, and has also moved towards the field of livestock management. Livestock have “identity cards” from birth, and RFID electronic tags are bound to identity information. By using RFID technology, the ability to identify and track animals is greatly improved. RFID technology provides scientific and automated management for livestock farm management.

Wear the RFID animal electronic tag on the animal's ears or neck and anklets, and write the animal's identity information to the RFID electronic tag with a special RFID Card issuer. The RFID Reader/writer identifies, tracks and exchanges data on the RFID Animal Tag. This can automatically identify and track animals to achieve scientific feeding and intelligent management. The application of RFID technology has great prospects in the animal husbandry industry. There are many successful cases at home and abroad. This is already an inevitable trend. RFID technology can track and monitor the breeding, transportation, and slaughter of animals, and trace animals when an epidemic occurs.

The animal husbandry automatic identification and traceability system is mainly divided into three levels of systems, namely the management center, the control center, and the quarantine substation. The system consists of RFID animal electronic tags, RFID reading and writing equipment, RFID handheld terminals, RFID electronic tag writing and automatic identification software.

Fully automatic recognition:

Each livestock is coded and registered, which allows quarantine personnel to easily understand the entire growth stage of each livestock through the handheld terminal device in their hands.

Traceability:

The system keeps track of the entire life cycle of each livestock, records the situation at each stage, and collects and backs up the data in the information management center. If something happens, the system will automatically search for the source of the animal to facilitate management personnel. analyze.

Convenience:

The system's fully electronic data centralized management allows a lot of data search work to be completed by the server, saving a lot of manpower and time and speeding up the response to events.

safety:

The identification and collection time is fast and the failure rate is low, which can ensure the safety, timeliness and stability of the tag identification process. It can ensure the high stability, security and network transmission speed of the server, and then realize the real-time transmission of the system to ensure the information timeliness.

RFID technology includes intelligent weighing, intelligent feeding, intelligent identification and inventory, livestock breeding, epidemic prevention and control management, etc. in livestock management.

Intelligent weighing:

By installing an RFID animal ear tag 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 without any other requirements. Human interference also reduces the workload of measuring animal weight, and all animal weight data can be obtained at one time, so that feeding and management strategies can be better adjusted, and the periodic assessment of the growth of fattening pigs will also be more accurate (compared to traditional visual assessment method).

Smart feeding:

By installing an RFID animal ear tag reading and writing collector in the feeding trough, when the animals drink and eat, they will be identified based on the animal's weight information and repeated eating information, and the corresponding drinking water and feed amounts will be fed to achieve scientific feeding and at the same time Can reduce unnecessary feed waste.

Intelligent identification inventory:

Animals wear RFID electronic ear tags, and an RFID animal ear tag reading and writing collector is installed at the passage door or feeding pen. When the animals pass through the passage door or feeding pen, automatic inventory counting can be carried out, and the collected information will be uploaded to the terminal management background in real time. , for data aggregation. RFID feeding pens and passage doors are suitable for the field of pig, cattle and sheep breeding. They can automatically record whether animals are released and returned to the pen, reducing the probability of errors in manual inventory.

Livestock breeding:

Breeding of livestock is the main competitiveness of a large-scale breeding farm. High-quality livestock will bring greater output and market share. Breeding of livestock through RFID and recording the growth information of each generation will help to select high-quality breeds. Feeding can also avoid the problem of confusion of livestock breed information caused by the flow of people in the farm.

Epidemic prevention:

The biggest concern of all breeding companies is animal epidemic prevention. Animal epidemic prevention management through RFID will record the epidemic prevention information of each animal. If an animal develops symptoms or an epidemic, managers will quickly detect the epidemic animal through animal activity information. Carry out pen-changing management in a timely manner to avoid population infection.

The performance advantages of RFID systems in livestock management are very obvious, and the collection process is simple and convenient. Intelligent tracking and management of each livestock is carried out through RFID technology, and a set of information management is established, which is transparent and timely. Managers at all levels can simply manage through the network and quickly and easily query various feeding information.
