Cattle
• Voluntary
• Number of animals in the herd
Small ruminants
• RFID tagging compulsory with 100 % of animals
• Large number of animals > 200
Different types of herds
www.idele.fr
• Large number of animals > 200
• Different animal sizes :
�between lambs and ewes
�between breeds
�with very large horn…
Milking herds : animal from behind in the milking parlour
Suckling herds : extensive breed conditions

The final result for the user of RFID depends on

How to choose a reader?
Eartags and readers compatibility
Adapted software
Cost of valorisations

Many characteristics and parameters to take into account :
A guideline to choose RFID device

Restraining equipment adapted to the size of the flock and the breeding conditions.
ISO standards not sufficient to guarantee the use of the complete systems

For the farmers using an adapted herd management software
To read of a large number of animals
• Fixed antenna in a race way
• Helpers to regulate sheep flow

Private RFID tags to the ISO RFID tags (FDX and HDX technologies)
Use of RFID for feeding automates

Milk automate for calves
Depends on the age of the lamb
• A cradle
• A crate
Use of RFID for meat performance recording

A French AFNOR standard
� Collect and transfer to the national database the weight linked to the official animal identification number from RFID reading
Use of RFID for goats milkrecording
Official animal identification number from the pastern tag in the milking parlor
RFID numbers of the milking stand
Milk sample bottle number and milk weight
A computer records all data together to send to the national database

Use of RFID for live animal trade
For saleyards and markets • read 100 % of sheep
• Stopping the animals:
weighing or drafting system
�Change in the working organization
�New task = Time

�New task = Time
a weighing system
a drafting system

Use of RFID on a slaughterchain
• Few constraints to read the carcass with the eartag and detection cell
• Fixed readers integrated in the environment

Supervision of RFID devices
From the French pilot projects for ruminants (2005 – 2010) to the implementation of the national RFID system, the Institut de l’Elevage has to continue to work on technical points :
• Restraining conditions for a successful reading
www.idele.fr 12Smart Agrimatics 14th of June, 2012 Ref 001278007
• Restraining conditions for a successful reading
• Performances quality of the RFID eartags and the reading systems
• Information and help to all users of RFID devices
• Tests of new RFID tags and reading systems
• …
