Animal Identification

Whether you are looking to track countless livestock or want to keep tabs on a pet, RFID animal identification can help you accomplish your goal. Tagging animals using RFID systems has proved to be more efficient and effective in helping you get accurate production information, animal owner information, birth date, animal’s parentage, health history, and various other important management information.

Animal identification systems have been used for thousands of years to know who their owners are. The different Animal Identification systems include branding, ear notching, freeze branding, hot stamping, etc. However, these methods are outdated and not feasible for a large herd or farms with many animals. With the advancement in technology and the progressive intensification of animal production, new tools for animal marking have been developed helping livestock readers, farmers, and individuals meet their specific needs.

Animal and livestock identification in India and traceability are used to indicate ownership and prevent theft. However, the reasons for identification have evolved and become a priority due to consumer demand for comprehensive and integrated food safety policies. It is now critical to control animal diseases and access trade in animals and their products. Tracking livestock has become more complicated as animals are traded many times before being slaughtered. Additionally, some are slaughtered thousands of kilometers from their birth farm. Also, trading live animals is common in India, thus increasing the risk of spreading epidemic diseases. For some livestock farmers, it can be difficult to identify specific animals such as when breeding strong family lines as characteristics are passed down through genetics.

The best effective way to beat this is to properly distinguish every animal using RFID-based Livestock Management Technology From ID Tech.

ID Tech’s RFID Livestock Management System is a unique, secure, and uniform identification system linked to a database to help with identification, and traceability to origin as well as helps with proper identification of diseased animals to ensure they are cared for adequately and receive the right treatment.

In the event of a crisis like disease outbreaks, if the Animal Identification system is in place, it can help countries put measures like surveillance, early detection, notification of outbreaks, restriction of animal movements, and zoning. To ensure food safety, traceability helps prevent food contamination and provides trading partners with assurances of the safety of the products they import.

Animal Tracking Using RFID devices allows sound management of Animal Assessment and Selection, Disease Identification and Treatment, Quality Assurance and Disease Control, and Breeding Programs.
