What we are going to learn? Methods of animal identification What is RFID ? How RFID works? What are the uses of RFID in animal sciences? What are the advantages of RFID? Global vis-à-vis Indian scenario Conclusion


Animal Identification- Prerequisite of livestock management

1. Keeping records on farm animals 2. Economics evaluation3. Efficient management and feeding4. Registration of animal5. Insurance purpose6. To establish ownership

Hp

proper identification is pre-requisite for livestock owner

05/01/23 INTRODUCTION 6

Mechanical methods:Mechanical methods:•Tagging/Notching•Branding •Tattooing (Wismans,1999)

Biometric Methods:Biometric Methods:• Nose Prints (Mishra,et.al.1994) (Battaglia, 2001)• Iris Scanning• Retinal imaging (Whittier et al.2003)• DNA Profiling (Heaton et al. 2002)

Electronic Methods:Electronic Methods:(Radio Frequency Identification)

(McAllister et al. 2000)

Hp

different means of identifications have already been used, such as


•Not suitable for all species

•Can be replicated/counterfeit

•Branding-Vogue method (Welfare issues)

•Tattooing-need close observation

•Notching: Indirect methods

(Schwartzkopf-Genswein, 1998)


Productivity and welfare depends upon the effective care and management

Traditional management methods-decisions based on averages and conclusions

larger herd – poorer management practices

Individual animal management is not possible

Skilled labour problem for record keeping in govt. farms

05/01/23 COMPONENTS OF RFID 9

Uses radio waves to link database with

identification chips/tags

(Wu Hong-da, 2012)

Hp

Processes to automatically recognize the identity of an animal are a breaking technology.

Hp

use of a microchip, or electronic transponder, embedded in a tag, bolus or implant to identify a farm animal.

05/01/23 MECHANISM OF RFID 10

(Tan et al., 2007).

REA

DER

REA

DER

Transponder

of reader

Hp

Reader creates an electromagnetic field (activation field) that is used by the transponder to generate the own operating voltage

Hp

reader transfers the unique number to a computer which uses it to store whatever information isnecessary about the animal being identified

05/01/23 RFID-TRANSPONDES 11

(Caja et al., 1999)

Collars

Ear tags

Rumen bolus

Implants

Hp

Moving on to an introduction to Radio Frequency Identification, it should be mentioned that RFID tags can be separated in different categories according to both use and technology criteria. There are three main types of tags used for animal identification: boluses, ear tags, and injectable glass tags, which are injected under the skin.

05/01/23 RFID-TRANSPONDERS 12

Under the skin of animal

Near the neck or base of the ear

Permanent and relatively painless

The Kopordem farm at Valpoi in Sattari Taluk in North Goa has become the first farm in India to use RFID microchips

Hp

Implants are injected with an instrument with a hollow needle

05/01/23 RFID-READERS 14

Fixed in milking parlour/abattoir

(Blasi et al. 2000)

Handheld, Portable & used in field

05/01/23 RFID-SOFTWARE 15

Digital storage into a database

Entered manually or automatically

Stored reliably and accurately Analyse & give information to make a

decision

“Herdman” was designed by Abdul Samad, Dean, Bombay vet college

Automatic identification of cows that need to be milked separately.Behaviour Study Traceability (RFID) Animal movement trackingHabitat Monitoring

RFID system is a key technology for the automation

Hp

Electronic systems for animal identification can be used for a wide range of tasksportable and stationary readers ofare used in many different applications with cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry world-wide. The most important applications are process control, management and traceability.

Avoid substitution of insured items Guarantee their authenticity

Hp

animal is being electronically identified by the fixed panel readers fitted to the weigh crate.The ID is passed to the Electronic weigh head

Hp

information recorded on the weigh head can then be transferred to a computer

Hp

weigh head passes the weight of the animal to the handheld reader via bluetooth or a lead

Hp

handheld reader is the device that stores all the animals’ details with their associated weightsit may be possible to view or add additional information at the touch of the button

Hp

When the batch of animals has passed through the weigh crate, the handheld reader will have in its memory the list of animals that were identified along with their associated weight

Hp

information can be transferred to a computer

•Quick, Easy, and Accurate

•Difficult to replicate /counterfeit

•Efficient management

•Time & Labour saving

•Dynamic data storage

•Data can easily view, analyze, manipulate & sort•Aid in taking immediate decisions

Hp

data capacity is large enough that each individual tag has a unique code

Hp

RFID tags are easy to apply and ensure successfulreading of information and lack of stress to livestock

FAIR (Farm Animal Identification and Records),

IDEA (Identification Electronique des Animaux), Europe

NLID (National Livestock Identification for Dairy), Britain

CTS (Cattle Tracing System), Canada

National Livestock Identification System (NLIS), Aus

Hp

NLIS of Australia regulations require that all cattle be fitted with a RFID device in the form of an ear tag or rumen bolus

Hp

IDEA of EU show the usefulness of RFID in national I&R systems

Hp

world organisation, has international guidelines for the identification and performance recording of farm animals. More than 45 countries worldwide are members

Hp

several programmes were developed for animal identification and tracing world wide some important names are

05/01/23 22

Its difficult to adapt due to,•High cost•Cheap labour

If adapted, its efficient in saving labor & time

Amul Dairy, implanted RFID chips in 1500 cattle

Chitale Dairy, in M.H. Sangli district uses RFID

With approx 7,500 livestock tagged with RFID, the DRDA, in Kheda distt. (Guj), leads the race

Hp

broad range of transponders and transceivers are now available on the market for domestic animals

Methods of animal identification are utmost important for effective management

In the rapidly changing global economy, livestock farming sector of our country faces new challenges

Electronic animal monitoring technologies and integration may become key solution.

05/01/23 CONCLUSION 27

Identification and collection of data is quick and efficient with RFID

Government agencies too, around the world, are in favor of RFID

Finally, days of tattooing, ear-tagging and other such practices might be at an end.

RFID is surely one technology that can serve several purposes, innovatively.
