Sistema de identificação de bovinos com RFID

Abstract

The sanitary quality of meat is a matter of utmost importance for livestock farming, particularly in the export sector. Therefore, the implementation of more efficient record-keeping systems is necessary. RFID technology has been developed over the last few decades and is becoming increasingly efficient and prevalent in the daily lives of modern society. Thus, this study proposes the use of an RFID system combined with animal weighing in livestock farming to enable individual tracking of each cattle. A prototype was built, proving to be functional and financially viable.
