Крупного рогатого скота производители могли бы спасти себя справедливые немного времени и денег, Если они готовы сделать переход от стандартного низкой частоты Ушная бирка для новой альтернативы ультра высокой частоты.
«Типичный кнопку Ушная бирка has been around for a long time and works very well, but it’s in a low-frequency spectrum and the read range is therefore very, very short.” said Glen Kathler, applied research chair of the Radio Frequency Identification Application Development Lab at SAIT Polytechnic.
“With this ultra-high radio frequency technology, now you have a tag that you can read from up to 20 feet away, and you can also read more than one tag at a time.”
The Calgary school was approached in 2011 службами идентификации скот был ли технология для улучшения прослеживаемости крупного рогатого скота. Лис и Канадское агентство по инспекции продовольствия были заинтересованы в вещах, таких как слежение в реальном времени крупного рогатого скота во время транспортировки и расширение болезни отслеживаемость, когда соединять животных.
«Мы посмотрели на всей цепочке поставок, right from the producer all the way to the packing plant — with stops at the auction markets, откормочных площадках, and the transport companies — to see where some of the biggest gaps are,” said Kathler.
Ultra-high-frequency RFID tracking — widely used in areas as diverse as oil and gas, производство, and prisons — seemed like the way to go, not just for agencies like LIS but also producers. Kathler uses the example of a producer loading cattle or moving them to a new pasture.
“He could literally take something out of his saddlebag, stick it into a fence post for 20 minutes while he moved animals, and it would just read all of the tags of the animals going through the gate,” said Kathler.
“It’s very automated, and it simply creates a higher level of accuracy as opposed to trying to read something visually, as well as having to be so close to an animal that you can read a tag with a low-frequency wand reader.”
The technology would also be highly useful at auction marts for tracking animals from pre-sale pens through to loading. But it’s feedlots that stand to gain the most, Он сказал.
«Просто возможность сортировки животных, для перемещения животных, и читать Теги без добавления каких-либо дополнительных стресс, имея их пройти через сдавление парашют был большой привлекательности для этого конкретного рынка,” said Kathler, добавив, что скот консервативным оценкам потерять 1% массы тела от стресса каждый раз, когда они идут через лотка Сожмите.
“We showed that if you could eliminate even one of the trips through the squeeze chute to get its tag read, there’s a significant cost savings because there simply would be no stress on the animal. They don’t know they’re being read. They’re not being squeezed. They’re just being moved from one pen to another.”
