RFID Animal Tracking & Identification

RFID technology is revolutionizing livestock management by reducing disease risks and enhancing animal health. Whether tracking large herds or monitoring pets, RFID systems provide efficient and accurate data on production, ownership, birth dates, health history, and other vital management details. Traditional methods like branding, ear notching, and hot stamping are outdated and impractical for large-scale operations. Modern RFID solutions offer a secure, uniform identification system linked to a comprehensive database, meeting the needs of today’s livestock owners and farmers.

ID Tech’s RFID systems include LF, HF, and UHF tags and readers, offering a range of options to suit different tracking needs. From small tags for birds embedded in rings to rugged tags for large livestock, our solutions are adaptable and effective. Designed to withstand harsh conditions, our RFID tags and readers are durable and reliable in extreme environments, including rain, humidity, temperature fluctuations, and physical wear.

Fully compatible with standardized components and systems, our RFID solutions meet all relevant industry standards and regulations. They are suitable for tracking various animals—from fish and small mammals to cats, dogs, horses, and even endangered species. ID Tech’s ICAR-certified injectable RFID tags are implanted under the skin, reducing errors and avoiding discomfort. These tags record veterinary histories, ensure proper care, and help prevent disease spread. With a range of field- and time-tested tags, our solutions are ideal for comprehensive animal ID tracking across diverse applications.

How It Works

1. Tagging

RFID tags, available as injectable transponders or ear tags are applied to animals based on species and management needs. Implanted under the skin or attached externally, these tags ensure accurate identification, providing essential data for efficient livestock tracking and management in various environments.

2. Data Storage

Each RFID tag holds a unique identifier and essential animal information, including ID, health records, and ownership details. The microchip securely stores data, ensuring accurate tracking, while providing real-time access to veterinarians, farmers, and management systems for seamless monitoring and decision-making.

3. Scanning

RFID readers, available as handheld or fixed devices, scan tags to capture real-time data. Handheld readers offer portability for flexible use in fields, while fixed readers are installed at strategic points like entry gates and feeding areas to ensure continuous monitoring and data collection.

4. Data Integration

Captured RFID data is instantly transmitted to a centralized management system. This integrated platform consolidates real-time information, offering actionable insights. It streamlines animal tracking, health monitoring, and operational management, enhancing overall productivity, transparency, and decision-making for farms and agricultural enterprises.

5. Management and Monitoring

With RFID data accessible through a management system, farmers and veterinarians efficiently monitor animal health, oversee breeding programs, and detect disease outbreaks. The system also supports food traceability and regulatory compliance, providing comprehensive insights to ensure optimal livestock care and operational management.

Benefits of RFID Animal Tracking

Enhanced Security

RFID technology offers a robust system for managing unique identification numbers (UIDs). It ensures secure handling of data throughout the entire process— from receiving and storing orders to processing them—maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and security.

Improved Accuracy

RFID technology ensures precise and reliable encoding of unique identification numbers (UIDs) and their associated information. This guarantees accurate tracking and management of animal data, including health records and breeding details.

Regulatory Transparency

RFID solutions provide clear visibility into compliance with ICAR certification requirements. This transparency supports adherence to regulatory standards, facilitating easier management of documentation and improving overall accountability in animal tracking and identification practices.
