The important role RFID technology plays in animal husbandry

Some developed countries and large-scale animal husbandry management have adopted RFID technology. Among them, European Union countries, the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries have formulated mandatory requirements for the use of RFID technology. All livestock must wear RFID ear tags from birth, and the livestock information is registered in the data system.

Why should RFID technology be used in animal husbandry? What important role does RFID technology play in animal husbandry?

As RFID technology gradually enters people's field of vision and promotes the progress of animal husbandry, the animal husbandry industry has also taken steps towards automation and intelligence. Traditional animal husbandry breeding methods are difficult to adapt to the increasingly large breeding management system and cannot keep up with market demand. Problems such as low efficiency, error-prone, information lag, and inconvenient management are among the many shortcomings of traditional breeding methods.

The application of RFID technology in animal husbandry can not only solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, but also inject new vitality and vitality into the breeding industry, and bring new development directions to the breeding industry.

1. Identity mark

In modern livestock farms, all animals inside wear RFID electronic tags. The tags record information such as animal number, individual weight, individual type, feeding information, etc. Each tag has a unique ID code. , to prevent information confusion and other situations when taking inventory of animals. After animals wear electronic tags, each animal has its own identity tag. Use an RFID electronic ear tag reader to scan the electronic ear tag to know all the animal's identity information.

2. Intelligent feeding

When the RFID electronic ear tag reader near the feeding trough recognizes an animal coming to eat, it identifies the animal's electronic tag to obtain the animal's feeding information, automatically feeds the corresponding amount of feed based on past feeding conditions, and records the number and time of eating. . If the two feeding times are too close, no feed will be put in, and the time when the animal comes to eat will be recorded. The feeding process is fully automated and unmanned, and the animals are fed meticulously based on their feeding information.

3. Intelligent management

RFID technology has been applied to breeding sites such as channel identification, inventory statistics, intelligent column division, and intelligent weighing. When animals enter and leave the pen, the RFID electronic ear tag reader recognizes the electronic tag and ID code of the animal. It can identify the identity of the animal and conduct inventory statistics at the same time, and count the individual information and number of animals entering and exiting the pen. When the animal is being weighed, the electronic ear tag reader obtains the animal's identity information, the weighing platform displays the animal's weight information, and is finally uploaded to the management system to record the animal's weighing weight, weighing identity, and weighing time; If stall management is required, the uploaded weight information and identity information will be checked against the stall data, and animals that meet the stall conditions will open the corresponding passage door and enter the stall pen.

4. Epidemic prevention testing

Use an RFID electronic ear tag reader to scan the animal electronic tag to obtain the epidemic prevention testing information, past cases and other information recorded in the tag. Keep sick animals in separate pens to avoid problems such as cross-infection and infection of weak animals, which may cause unnecessary losses.

5. Behavior prediction

RFID electronic tags are worn on animals from birth, recording the animal's feeding situation from childhood to adulthood. If an animal exhibits abnormal behavior, it can be analyzed based on past animal feeding data and the age of the animal to predict the animal's behavior to determine whether the animal is sick, whether it is in estrus, whether the pregnant animal is about to give birth, etc., so as to prevent the slightest change and pay attention to the subtleties. Start by ensuring the healthy growth of animals.

6. Product traceability

From the breeding farm to the slaughterhouse to the vegetable market, the timeline is to ensure the health of animal breeding and the healthy source of food. When the animals transported to the slaughterhouse pass through the RFID electronic ear tag reader, important information such as the animal's release time, place of origin, breeding place, vaccination, etc. can be identified to ensure that the animals entering the slaughterhouse are healthy and harmless; inflow By scanning the QR code of the poultry meat products in the vegetable market, the source of the meat, the type of animal it comes from, the feeding conditions and other information can be traced, so that consumers can follow the traces and buy with confidence. Happy, and invisibly establishes a reassuring brand image.

7. Data information management

Transforming traditional paper data into digital information, all data such as animal information and breeding processes can be clearly checked, making the breeding process visible, management more intelligent, and improving the management efficiency of animal husbandry.

RFID electronic ear tag readers include fixed and handheld electronic ear tag readers. They are independently developed and produced ear tag readers based on RFID technology. They have strong reading capabilities, provide stable and reliable reading rates, and can read comfortably. Imported and domestic low-frequency electronic ear tags such as DeLaval, Afigin, etc. are widely used in livestock breeding, such as the above-mentioned identification, counting and inventory, refined feeding, intelligent partitioning, epidemic prevention detection, and behavior prediction. , traceability and other scenarios.
