RFID livestock tracking is an automated identification and data collection system used to monitor, manage, and trace animals throughout their lifecycle. Each animal is fitted with an RFID ear tag or implant that contains a unique electronic ID. When the tag is scanned using an RFID reader, the animal’s information is instantly captured and transmitted to management software for record keeping, health tracking, breeding programs, and movement control.
The system works by using radio frequency technology to communicate between the RFID tag and the reader. When an animal passes near a handheld or fixed reader, the tag transmits its ID without direct contact or line of sight. This allows farms, ranches, veterinary services, and livestock operations to quickly identify cattle, sheep, goats, swine, and other animals with high accuracy and efficiency. RFID tracking improves traceability, reduces manual errors, and supports large-scale livestock management and regulatory compliance.
