ZigBeef products break the short-read range cattle RFID barrier
ZigBeef products solve the dreaded short read-range bottleneck problem for USDA NAIS number collection in high-traffic beef cattle markets and lots. Our products give beef producers the ability to electronically identify cattle whether their herds are crowded into chutes, gathered into pens, or grazing open pasture. In addition, our tags have the ability to store data on-animal, offering quick and easy retrieval of any user-defined information. ZigBeef radio-based cattle ear tags offer superior reading-range over passive wand-based tag technology. Ranchers, auction operators, and feedlot operators are no longer limited to infrequent opportunities to scan IDs. ZigBeef allows identification of each animal on the range, pen, or working chute, at virtually any time.
RF performance was measure across ponds, in metal corrals, inside and outside barns, and in other typical ranching scenarios.
The National Animal Identification System (NAIS) is a national program intended to identify specific animals in the United States and record their movement over their lifespans. It is being developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and State agencies—in cooperation with industry—to enable 48-hour traceback of the movements of any diseased or exposed animal. This will help to ensure rapid disease containment and maximum protection of America's animals.
