Major dairy and beef producing and consuming nations throughout the world are moving rapidly towards RFID as the ID technology of choice in order to vouchsafe animal and ocnsumer health as well as product quality control. The reasons for implementing RFID are the unmatched reliability and longevity of RFID and the fact that RFID can be read automatically and independently of line-of-sight limitations.
The TROVAN electronic identification system eliminates forgeries and allows for 100% accuracy in identifying animals. Together with appropriate internal systems controls, it permits an early response to disease or product integrity problems. It gives ranchers as well as regulatory agencies greater control over individual animals preventing theft and maximising productivity and quality control via long-term tracking of animal performance within a herd.
Once assigned, an ID number stays with an animal for its entire lifetime. Because implantable tags cannot be removed from the live animal or inadvertently lost, no re-issue is required. Because no duplicate TROVAN ID numbers are ever manufactured, for any reason, there is no chance for fraud or inadvertent duplication. Trovan, Ltd. is also in the unique situation of being in a position to enforce the uniqueness of the ID codes in its RFID system. |
