Outline RFID- Radio Frequency Identification.
Animal identification is defined as “the combination and
linking of the identification and registration of an animal
individually, with a unique identifier, or collectively by its
epidemiological unit or group, with a unique group identifier”
(Sehularo, 2010).
It is an AIDC ( Automatic Identification & Data Capturing)
that uses radio frequency waves to transfer data between reader
and electronic(RFID) tag attached to an object for the purpose of
identification and tracking.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is one of the advanced and
efficient identification technologies in recent years and is widely
adopted by various dairy industries. RFID can improve the automatic
data collection by taking advantage of electronic transmission
technology that provides quick access to dairy herd information and
utilized for improving the feeding and managemental practices.
(Prasad et al., 2013).
HOW RFID INVENTED
The cause of rfid invention was the application of
IFF ( Identification friend or foe) method during
world war 2 by the British Army to detect their
own returning plane from inbound German ones.
Though radar was there, but it was able to signal
the presence of plane not the type of plane it was.

Components of RFID
RFID consist of three components and they are as follows:
(1) Transponder (2) Trans-receiver (3) Data accumulator ( computer
system)
(McAllister et al., 2000).

• TRANSPONDER
EAR TAG
12/19/2014
Ear tags: The ear tag transponder is one inch in diameter and can be embodied
in plastic (Sherwin, 1990; Stark et al., 1998).
Flag shaped ear tag

RFID RUMEN BOLUS
For cattle - 70 gm
For sheep - 20 gm
Covered with ceramic materialsBolus with animal ID
The bolus transponders are covered by a
capsule of biomedical glass and injected under
the skin (Gruys et al., 1993; Lambooij et al.,
1995) introduced orally into the forestomach of
ruminants (Fallon and Rogers, 1996; Hasker
and Bassingthwaighte, 1996; Caja et al.,
1999) through a balling gun.

Microchips:
Microchips are a form of identification that involves the implanting of an
electronic chip, with a miniature radio transponder and antenna, under the
skin of an animal near the neck between the shoulder blades, or near the
base of the ear (Diez et al., 1994).
Wide application over pet animals and wild
animals
12/19/2014
Microchip injector with covering of poly-
propylene
Now, the chip is fitted with the injector
12/19/2014
It is recommended that a subcutaneous implantation site in the
lateral left side of the neck, approximately 10 cm cranial to the
shoulder of cattle, sheep and goats.
Dorn (1987)
There are 4 different sites for IETs in veal calves.The sites were
(a) subcutaneously at the front of the head, 10 cm lateral and caudal
to the nostril, (b) at the base of the ear, (c) intramuscularly in the
neck, ventral to the ligamentum nuchae and 10 cm cranial, and (d)
at the lateral side of the neck, cranial to the shoulder.Merks and Lambooij (1989)
Microchip is injected in the neck area.
12/19/2014
COLLAR TAG
Electronic collar are similar to that of neck chain, except they have
an attached tag with an electronic number that can be read by a
scanner.

Norms In RFID Animal Identification
12/19/2014
International Committee for Animal Recording (ICAR)
ICAR recommends three-way RFID ear tags (visual laser-printed,
bar-coded and microchip-embedded). These tags are commonly used
in India.(Ruhil et al 2013)
12/19/2014
All RFID appliances are regulated under ISO standards
1- 11784
2- 11785 Barge et al 2012
ISO 11784- defines the code structure of the RFID transponder
ISO 11785 - readability of RFID reader( ICAR 2009)
The ISO compliant RFID animal identification transponder
operates at a frequency of 134 kHz and stores a 64-bit code.
( Ruhil et al 2013)
The ISO solution of 64-bit coded tags limits the complexity of
the transponders and their cost
(Saa et al. 2005).
12/19/2014
For cattle, sheep and goats, the code structure and the operating
frequencies must be compliant with the International Organization
for Standardization 11784 and 11785 standards (International
Organization for Standardization 1996a, b), which were defined and
adopted in the early 1970s (Rossing 1999) and then approved by the
International Committee for Animal Recording (ICAR 2005).
No standards are at present defined for pig identification.
The introduction of new ISO standard, ISO 14223:2003
(International Organization for Standardization 2003) could allow
the exploitation of the new possibilities offered by RFID technology.
(Sydanheimo et al. 2006).
12/19/2014
Comparision between RFID rumen bolus
and ear tag
12/19/2014
According to the advantage of the ear tag device is that
farmers will buy and apply the electronic ear tags themselves
and, could easily identify their animals from a distance.
Anon(2012b)
The disadvantages of ear tags are that they can be easily
removed, lost or damaged deliberately resulting in animals
being difficult to identify.
Anon, 2012b; Seretse, (2012)
FAO/WHO (2004) compared electronic ear tags and rumen bolus
based on the five attributes (i.e., readability, cost, durability,
transcription and central control)
Bolus is irretrievable until the time of slaughter. Boluses
showed higher readability (99.5) than electronic tag (89.8%)
(Garin et al., 2003).
The recovery of the rumen bolus after slaughter is more
problematic than the removal of an electronic ear tag(Fallon, 2001; Merchant, 2002).
Reading of a bolus seems to be more difficult and time
consuming than reading of injectable transponders and electronic
ear tags when hand-held readers are used.Klindtworth et al. (1999)
Ear tags and rumen boluses were both suitable for electronic
identification purposes, but boluses were shown to have a higher
retention rate and to potentially pose less welfare problems
(Ribo et al., 2001; JRC, 2002).
Compared to bolus, ear tags cannot be reused or recycled(Anon, 2012b) .

Automation in dairy with the help of RFID
12/19/2014
Animal identification helps in automation of dairy farm operation
and better management of individual animal records (Pires 2002, Eradus et al. 1995).

Temperature monitoring: RFID microchips can read the
temperature of the cow along with the cow’s unique identification
number (Higgins, 2003; Hostettor, 2003).
Health and Reproduction monitoring:
RFID helps in health monitoring like monitoring health of herd
(physiological parameters, mastitis) and individual medication
and vaccination records. Sick animal identified at early stage and
segregated for treatment.

Traceability system and tracking system:
This is a combination of Global Positioning System (GPS) and RFID technology.
This will help in enhance farm management capabilities. It is proposed that GPS
technology be included in RFID tags in to tracing cattle movements, and locate
individual cows with a single program (Karnjanatwe, 2005).

RFIDlivestock in World
12/19/2014
The radio frequency identification (RFID) of each single head of
cattle is already mandatory in many countries.(Smith et al. 2008).
In the European Union, electronic identification of sheep and
goats by radiofrequency has been mandatory since January
2010 implemented by Commission Decision 2006/968/EC.,
but for cattle it is voluntary.
NLIS is the largest animal ID system in
the world.

12/19/2014
Application of electronic animal identification technologies is
a growing trend in the livestock industry and plays an important
role in the future prospects. There is still a gap regarding
electronic animal identification for the purposes of improving
total farm management practices, especially on dairy farms in
India.. (Trevarthen, 2007).
Maharashtra is the first state in India to introduce animal
identification authority called ‘MAIRA’.
BVC created ‘HERDMAN’ sofeware under
Dr. A. Samad and his colleagues.

CONCLUSION
12/19/2014
The countries that have started recording of performance data
have doubled the productivity of animals in 25 years
(Samad 2010).
The general perception is that RFID technology is cost
prohibitive to small-hold dairy farmers .
(Geers et al., 1997; Saatkamp et al., 1997)
RFID has led to the evolution of herd health programs
focused on maximizing production (Voelker, 1981; Menzies et
al., 1988), health (Dohoo, 1988) and fertility (Lehenbauer,
1987).
Such integrated systems offer advantages such as
decrease in recording errors, automation of farm
implements (Naas, 2002), reduction in labour costs and overall
productivity optimization (Artman, 1999).
