RFID technology is mainly applied in the feeding process of animal husbandry management, including intelligent weighing, intelligent feeding, intelligent identification and inventory, and livestock breeding.
Intelligent weighing
By automatically uploading weight data to the terminal system through the animal weighing channel or automatic weighing machine, there is no need for other human interference, and the workload of measuring animal weight is reduced. All animal weight data can be obtained at once, which can better adjust feeding and management strategies. It will also be more accurate for evaluating the growth of fattening pigs at different stages (compared to traditional visual evaluation methods).
Intelligent feeding
When animals drink and eat, they will be identified based on their weight information and repeated feeding information, and corresponding amounts of water and feed will be given to achieve scientific feeding, which can reduce unnecessary feed waste.
Intelligent recognition inventory
When animals pass through the passage door or feeding pen, automatic inventory counting can be performed, and the collected information will be uploaded in real-time to the terminal management background for data aggregation. Automatically record whether animals have been slaughtered and returned to the inventory, reducing the probability of errors in manual inventory.
Livestock breeding
Breeding of livestock is the main competitive advantage of large-scale farms. High quality livestock can bring greater production and market share. Breeding livestock through RFID and recording the growth information of each generation can help select high-quality breeds for feeding, which can also avoid the problem of livestock information confusion caused by personnel turnover in the farm.
The application of RFID technology in animal husbandry mainly involves implanting RFID tags into the bodies of livestock and poultry, and remotely identifying them through RFID readers. Through RFID technology, real-time monitoring, tracking, and management of livestock and poultry can be achieved, including recording information such as their birth date, health status, vaccination status, and breeding history.
The application of RFID in animal husbandry management is becoming increasingly widespread and its role is gradually becoming prominent. Nowadays, it has been widely used in animal husbandry by many enterprises.
