USE OF RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS ON ANIMAL MONITORING

35874

With enhancement of technological advances in recent years, radio frequency identification (RFID) applications, whose history begins in the 1940s, has become quite popular. Decrement of their size and increment in their reading distance has led to the use of RFID technology in different areas commonly. Animal monitoring, tracking and identification systems are some of the application areas where this technology is used effectively to prevent theft and fraud, to increase efficiency and to collect and store essential data. Recently, some studies that involve remote measurements of the body temperature and rumen pH values of animals with bolus type-tags placed in rumen by adding temperature and pH sensors to the active RFID tags have been presented. In this study, firstly having literature search and practical application designs, it was presented that how RFID techniques used in this area with brief comparisons and finally discussed that proposed systems whether or not could be a solution. Indicating the advantages and disadvantages of the application methods in the field, it is tried to express use of RFID technology, in the monitoring, tracking and identification of animals.
