RFID Sheep Tags
RFID sheep tags are electronic identification (EID) tags that use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to provide a unique identification number for each sheep.
RFID sheep tags are electronic identification (EID) tags that use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to provide a unique identification number for each sheep. These tags are used in the sheep farming industry for tracking individual sheep, monitoring their health and productivity, and managing the overall flock.
RFID sheep tags are typically attached to the sheep’s ear using an ear tag applicator. The tag consists of a small microchip and an antenna that is encased in durable plastic or rubber housing. When a handheld RFID reader is passed over the tag, it emits a signal that is picked up by the reader and used to identify the sheep.
RFID sheep tags are available in different frequencies, including 125 kHz, 134.2 kHz, and UHF (860-960 MHz). The frequency used depends on the specific application and the range of the reader.
Some benefits of using RFID sheep tags include:
- Accurate and efficient tracking of individual sheep and flocks
- Improved disease management and biosecurity measures
- Increased productivity through better feeding and breeding programs
- Compliance with traceability and food safety regulations
Overall, RFID sheep tags play an important role in modern sheep farming practices, allowing farmers to better manage their flocks and improve overall productivity and profitability.
