Technology:

GAO RFID provides a diverse selection of RFID tracking devices for animals that enables farmers, breeders, and veterinarians to fulfill their traceability and identification needs. The RFID tags for animals are available at a variety of frequencies that include 134 kHz low frequency, 134.2 kHz frequency, 125 kHz low frequency and 860 MHz to 960 MHz operation frequency. Most of these tags are compliant and support various protocols such as ISO 11784, ISO 11785, ISO 14443A, ISO 15693, ISO 18000-6C, EM 4001, EM4005, EM4100, EM4102, EPC, ICAR.  The tags are offered in different materials and designs to comply with different needs. There are LF Glass Tube RFID tags that are enclosed in biocompatible glass, designed as a harmless tag for livestock and pets, which is injected under the skin of the animal. Additionally there are embeddable RFID tags usually used for pets and UHF animal ear tags that are usually made of thermoplastic polyurethane or polyester and are commonly for applications that demand high anti-collision rates. Most of the animal RFID tags are waterproof and shock resistant.

Below are some applications of GAO’s Animal RFID Tags:

• Livestock Management: One of the primary uses of our animal RFID tags is in livestock management. Each animal can be assigned a unique RFID tag, enabling farmers to track individual animals within their herds. This technology facilitates automated data collection on feeding patterns, health records, and breeding histories. It also aids in monitoring the movement and location of animals within large grazing areas.
• Animal Health Monitoring: Our RFID tags are instrumental in monitoring the health of individual animals. By attaching these tags, veterinarians and animal health professionals can access real-time data on an animal’s medical history, vaccinations, and any specific health conditions. This information helps with timely interventions and preventive care.
• Pet Identification and Registration: Many pet owners opt for RFID tags as a permanent form of identification for their pets. These tags are implanted under the skin and contain vital information like the owner’s contact details and the pet’s medical history. Animal shelters and veterinary clinics use RFID scanners to quickly identify lost or stray pets and reunite them with their owners.
• Research and Conservation: Wildlife researchers and conservationists utilize RFID tags to monitor and study the behavior and migration patterns of animals. These tags provide crucial data on endangered species, helping scientists understand their movements, population dynamics, and habitat preferences. The information gathered aids in implementing effective conservation strategies.
• Disease Control and Traceability: Our RFID tags contribute significantly to disease control and traceability in animal populations. During disease outbreaks, these tags help authorities quickly trace the origin and movement of infected animals, preventing further spread. This technology enhances biosecurity measures in farms and other animal facilities.
• Breeding Programs: Animal breeders rely on GAO’s RFID tags to manage breeding programs efficiently. Tags carry information about an animal’s lineage, genetic traits, and reproductive history. This data assists breeders in making informed decisions to improve the quality of offspring and maintain desirable traits.
• Regulatory Compliance: RFID tagging is often mandated by government regulations for specific animal industries. For instance, in the meat supply chain, RFID tags are used to track livestock from farm to processing facility, ensuring compliance with food safety standards and regulations.
• Laboratory Research: In scientific research involving animals, RFID tags are employed to uniquely identify each subject. This method facilitates data collection during experiments and minimizes errors in recording observations.
