125kHz RFID Animal Ear Tags Contactless for Identification Tracking

Radio frequency identification (RFID) describes a system that wirelessly transmits the identity of an object, in the form of a unique sequence of numbers or letters, using radio waves.
Although there are several types of RFID systems, this fact sheet describes the technology used in passive, low frequency RFID tag systems.

RFID ear tags for cattle.

There is no requirement for cattle producers to electronically read RFID ear tags. However, many producers will find benefit in automating data entry and retrieval by utilizing a RFID system in their management.
The four basic components of a RFID system as used in animal identification are:
Transponder-The transponder is the electronic data source that stays with the animal you want to identify
The transponder contains a microchip, where the identification number is stored.
The transponder is embedded in the eartag.

Transceiver-The transceiver (or reader) is used to retrieve the information stored in the transponder. This device is essentially a radio transmitter and an antenna.
The transceiver could be part of a hand-held unit that is taken to the location of the animals with the RFID tags or a stationary unit that the animals pass by.

Data accumulator-This is a device where information received by the transceiver is
accumulated or stored. This could be a computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), scale head or a variety of other electronic devices.

Processing software-This software transforms the accumulated data into recognizable and useful information. In the case of animal identification, the useful information would be a 15-digit number that is unique to that animal. In a separate process, this information could then be imported into a variety of data management programs.
