RFID transponders are worn as ear tags or as an inter-luminal capsule. Farm management can be fully automated for such processes as feeding, weighing, disease management, and breeding practices.
Low frequency (LF) RFID, with an operating frequency of 134.2 kHz, has been adopted internationally for animal identification applications following many years of development, exhaustive testing and practical field evaluation.
The International Standards Organization (ISO) and the Australian/New Zealand standards for the electronic identification of animals are based on LF 134.2 kHz RFID technology. (ISO11784/11785, AS5018/5019) The Texas Instruments LF RFID technology was selected by the ISO as the basis for these standards.
