It is also known as Electronic ID or RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). ![Integrated EID Gate]() ### What is an EID tag? Commonly referred to as Electronic ID, EID or RFID (radio frequency identification), the ear tag incorporates an air coil antenna system enclosed within a small female tag. This durable construction helps the transponder withstand tough environmental conditions. EID ear tags for livestock are considered passive tags because they have no battery or power source of their own. The tags are activated when they pass within the reader's transmission field. These tags are available in a tamper-proof design and can be paired with visual ID tags with the matching 15-digit EID number printed on the visual tag as well. Using Electronic Identification (EID) ear tags can significantly speed up the weighing process, reduce errors from manual input and offer potential labour savings. When read by an EID reader, the EID tag is recorded on the cattle scales along with the animal weight. Over time, an animal’s weight history can be tracked, good and bad performers can be identified and the input of resources managed to ensure profits are maximised. ![Cattle at George Kucka, Guys Forest]() ### The benefits of using EID Ear Tags. - Provides the basis to quickly and accurately collect data on individual animals. - Eliminates the need for “line of sight” reading necessary with visual and barcode systems. - The signal can penetrate the body, tissue, wood, plastic, mud, manure and more. - EID tags are passive. EID ear tags require no battery so they will last for the life of the animal. ![Ben Toddhunter moving sheep at Cleardale Station]() ### Maximising your profits Within any grouping of animals, there will always be a level of variation in the performance of individual animals. Under traditional mob-based management, you will always have significant variations. EID systems allow producers to maximise returns from the most productive animals, whilst minimising the cost incurred from the least productive. ![Mark Stokmans Angus Bulls]() ![I see you!]() ![Te Pari Tech Support Sheep Racew with Kelpie Dog]() ## The power of data. Gathering data is only half the battle. Learning how to manage and understand the data is just as important.
