RFID Tag Applicated in Livestock Breeding Industry

In recent years, with the development of RFID technology, it has been widely applied across various industries. In the livestock breeding industry, RFID technology also has significant applications. It can help farmers achieve precise management of livestock and poultry, improve breeding efficiency and quality. Many large-scale pig and poultry farming enterprises use RFID technology to manage animals. This technology mainly uses animal tags and readers for wireless communication, thereby automatically identifying and tracking animals to achieve intelligent management.

Through animal weighing channels or automatic weighing machines, weight data is automatically uploaded to the terminal system without the need for human intervention. This reduces the workload of measuring animal weights and allows for obtaining the weight data of all animals at once. This enables better adjustment of feeding and management strategies, and provides more accurate periodic assessment of fattening pigs’ growth compared to traditional visual assessment methods.

When animals drink water or eat feed, their weight information and repeated feeding information are used for identification, allowing for the corresponding amount of water and feed to be dispensed. This achieves scientific feeding and can reduce unnecessary feed waste.

When animals pass through gate channels or feeding pens, automatic inventory and counting can be performed. The collected information is uploaded to the terminal management backend in real-time for data aggregation. It automatically records whether animals leave or return to the enclosure, reducing the probability of errors caused by manual inventory.

Livestock breeding is a major competitive advantage for large-scale farms. High-quality breeds lead to greater yields and market share. Using RFID for livestock breeding to record the growth information of each generation helps in selecting superior breeds for rearing. This can also avoid the problem of livestock information disorder caused by staff turnover on the farm.

The application of RFID technology in livestock breeding mainly involves implanting RFID tags into the bodies of livestock and poultry and using RFID readers to remotely identify them. Through RFID technology, real-time monitoring, tracking, and management of livestock and poultry can be achieved, including recording information such as birth dates, health status, vaccination records, and feeding history.

The application of RFID in livestock management is becoming increasingly widespread, and its role is gradually becoming prominent. Today, it has been adopted by many enterprises in the livestock breeding industry.
