RFID technology leads beef cattle breeding into the “core” era
[ad_1]
my country is the fourth largest beef producer in the world. According to relevant data, my country’s existing cattle population is 138 million heads, and the beef output has reached 6.759 million tons. However, the per capita production of beef is only 4.3 kg, which is lower than the world average of 9.8 kg. In international trade, the proportion of my country’s fresh frozen beef exports is still very small, accounting for only about 1% of the world’s trade volume. The export of beef is monopolized by developed countries, and my country has always been in a weak position in terms of exports. Therefore, compared with developed countries, my country’s beef cattle industry is actually still at an early stage, especially in terms of production level, disease control, meat product safety, and efficient pasture management. The bottleneck factor in entering the international market.
Countries in the European Union, the United States, Australia and other developed countries have issued laws and regulations that impose mandatory requirements on the traceability of meat product quality and safety. In recent years, with the continuous emergence of food safety issues, my country has given priority to the animal husbandry industry. In particular, the comprehensive promotion of animal husbandry informatization and regional planning for beef cattle will surely promote the establishment of traceability and traceability management systems and industrial development. Rapid development will improve the international competitiveness of my country’s beef cattle industry.
Shanxi Zhengda Dairy Beef Cattle Farm took the lead in the identification and traceability of animals from the perspective of RFID, and began to explore the construction of the quality and safety management system of meat food in the breeding, production, transportation, and sales links, and then developed the animal identification and identification suitable for animal husbandry. Traceability System-RFID Animal Husbandry Breeding Management System, which tracks and monitors the entire process of livestock from breeding to sales. When an epidemic breaks out, it can be traced. The health department can trace the animals that may be infected with the disease through this system to determine their ownership and historical traces. At the same time, the system can provide real-time, detailed and reliable data on livestock from birth to slaughter. Practice has proved that the use of RFID technology for animal husbandry management can help companies realize information management in the breeding process, so that they can take timely measures to avoid serious disasters and losses. Establish a good brand image in the industry and in front of the public, significantly improve product competitiveness, and improve the management and control level of farmers in the base through management methods to achieve win-win and sustainable development.
introduction
The “RFID Beef Cattle Breeding Management System” proposed by Shanxi Zhengda Dairy Beef Cattle Farm uses RFID as an information carrier, and relies on network, system integration and database technology to establish a set of information platform within the scope of the cattle farm to realize the entire industry chain. The whole process is recorded in every link from feed, breeding, epidemic prevention to the sales terminal. At the same time, relevant departments can use this platform to effectively inquire and supervise various activities in the industry chain, and conduct timely and accurate data statistics.
System architecture: The system consists of a breeding management center, a breeding farm management subsystem, a channel management system, a monitoring management system, and a breeding personnel management system. The center establishes a large-scale database, and each subsystem connects to the center through a network and realizes data sharing.
System content: including 4 parts of beef cattle electronic tag, radio frequency identification device, computer network and application software. Combining with the actual situation of beef cattle breeding in our country, after a number of successful cases, Shanxi Zhengda has tailor-made supporting hardware equipment for the RFID beef cattle breeding management system. The equipment includes a 134.2KHz RFID low-frequency animal bio-glass tube tag (product model: C112004) and a 134.2KHz low-frequency handheld animal RFID reader (product model: 222005). First inject this kind of glass tube tag on each cow, and then through the low-frequency handheld animal RFID reader identified by its matching settings, combined with the established background management software system that can monitor and control, it can be realized in the cattle farm. Each beef cattle in the country is monitored and positioned throughout the entire process.
System management content
1 Establish identity management, establish identity marks for beef cattle and their products
The system has an electronic identification for each cow, and the identification has 16 significant digits, that is, there are more than 100 trillion non-repetitive data, so the condition of each cow can be obtained one by one without confusion and no Repeated, will not be changed, to ensure that the data and indicators of the managed object are absolutely accurate and reliable. The tracing of dairy products can be traced to the source, even to each cow.
2 Establish controllable management and establish a precise feeding database for beef cattle
After adopting this system, since the diet, exercise, and health status of each cow in each unit can be automatically controlled 24 hours a day, and health warnings are set in the computer, any epidemic and ordinary epidemics can be automatically recognized, and It can be confirmed and processed in time, and its controllability is extremely high. Breeding companies can easily use computers to obtain macro or individual status of inventory, slaughter, epidemics, etc., and make accurate choices about it. Once a problem occurs, it can be traced back to each company, or even each specific cow, so that timely measures can be taken. The government, enterprise, and group control changes to cattle are clear at a glance. After the enterprise, group itself or retail investors configure the system, the cattle’s growth status and health status are automatically entered and cannot be concealed.
3 Establish economic management and optimize the daily management system of beef cattle farms
The system can automatically adjust the feed ration according to the condition of the livestock. For example, the amount of feed for beef cattle should be increased during the development period, and the finished product should be released in time. One day longer will cause a lot of waste. The system can accurately remind the administrator and automatically adjust the type and quantity of feed to reduce feeding costs.
4 Establish information management
Realize the integration of relevant department information. After adopting this system, livestock breeding companies will be linked with government epidemic prevention departments, veterinary departments, feed supply departments, meat supply and marketing departments, import and export companies, and scientific research institutions to share information and timely control.
5 Establish standardization and international management to promote entry into the international market
After adopting this system, all enterprise groups and retail investors can be incorporated into the standardized management system, so that all enterprises in various places can adjust in time according to different breeds of livestock and international requirements for livestock products, and implement the best feeding and management measures.
Benefits from the application of RFID management system in cattle farms
1 Improve the management level of cattle farms and greatly improve production efficiency
It provides a modern management method for the identification of beef cattle, which can be tracked and managed from breeding to the final market, and its feeding and growth conditions can be accurately recorded. At the same time, it is convenient for the management of cattle in the shed, preventing the occurrence of diseases, and saving breeding costs. Improve the efficiency of breeding. It solves the real-time and complete automatic data collection of breeding enterprises, reduces production loss, improves labor production efficiency, and increases breeding benefits.
2 Improve the traceability of beef cattle and products, control their diseases, and form a complete disease prevention and control system
Due to the recent successive occurrences of food safety incidents and consumers’ strong reactions to food safety, we must pay attention to and rebuild the livestock and food public safety system that has been seriously backward. Therefore, it is the most scientific approach to control management from the source, and implement ID card management for high-value animals such as beef cattle. Establish whole-process sanitation and epidemic prevention monitoring from birth, breeding, transportation, slaughter, and finally entering the circulation field.
3 Improve the safety and hygiene management level of meat products, improve China’s food hygiene and epidemic prevention system, and provide guarantee for entering the international market
The RFID beef cattle breeding management system is applied to the automatic identification and control of beef cattle, realizing various information for each batch and each cattle, including feeding management, health status, and health inspection and quarantine qualifications, weight, fat thickness, etc. during slaughter. Visual management of collection and production and processing procedures. At the same time, it also solves the tracking and tracing of carcass identification in the processing and sales process of slaughter and processing enterprises. It has very important practical significance and value for the management of animal husbandry food safety and hygiene, and the entry of Chinese meat into the international market.
Concluding remarks
Develop withRFIDTechnology-based information-based fine aquaculture is not only to reflect and realize the needs of the standardization, standardization and modernization of my country’s animal husbandry, but also an inevitable requirement for shortening the gap with other countries. This system of Zhengda has been successfully applied to many domestic cattle farm demonstration bases, and it has been effective. This move has brought reforms to the widespread promotion of domestic RFID beef cattle breeding. (Edited by RFID World Net)
