Smart ear tags, also known as electronic ear tags, which are animal identification devices with built-in chips. It has the functions of information storage, transmission, identification, etc. Smart ear tags can monitor the growth status, activity range, health status of animals in real time. A large amount of animal information can be stored through it, including but not limited to animal unique identification number (ID), date and place of birth, breed and sex, immunization records, health check records, and more.

At the same time, the smart ear tag can transmit the stored information to the farming management system through wireless signals. Smart ear tags can help achieve real-time monitoring and data update, real-time monitoring of animal body temperature, activity and other physiological indicators, through data analysis, to predict the health of the animal.

Smart ear tags are designed with low power consumption and long-lasting batteries for long service life, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs.

The structure design of the smart ear tag is strong, and it is not easy to fall off, which can ensure the stability of the ear tag in the harsh breeding environment. Once the smart ear tag is lost, the system will immediately issue a reminder alarm to prevent loss.

With the development of science and technology, intelligent aquaculture has gradually become an important development direction of aquaculture in our country. As one of the key technologies of smart farming, wearable devices such as smart ear tags and electronic ear tags are the key components of modern smart farming. It achieves comprehensive monitoring and management of farming by integrating high-tech means such as sensors, wireless communication and data analysis. It not only improves the breeding efficiency, but also helps to ensure food safety and achieve traceability of the breeding process, from production and management to the table, providing consumers with safe and healthy meat products.

By combining different farming equipment in the smart agricultural farming platform, the smart ear tag can really run through the whole process of farming production.

1.      automatic feeding

With smart ear tags, farmers can feed automatically. According to the growth needs and eating habits of animals, the system automatically adjusts the feed dosage and improves the feed utilization rate.

2.      Environmental monitoring and regulation

The smart ear tag is combined with the farm environmental monitoring system to monitor the temperature, humidity, ammonia concentration and other indicators in the farm in real time. Once abnormalities are found, the system automatically adjusts ventilation, heating and other equipment to ensure a comfortable breeding environment.

3.      Intelligent field segmentation

According to the growth rate of the animal, variety and other factors, intelligent ear tags can be automatically divided into columns. Farmers can conduct targeted management of animals at different growth stages according to the column results.

4.      Intelligent weight system

Combined with weighing equipment and smart ear tags, it can automatically weigh and record the weight changes of different livestock in real time through design and platform.

5.      Slaughter and processing

Smart ear tags record the whole process of an animal from birth to slaughter. Consumers can scan ear tags to understand the source of meat products, breeding environment, slaughter time, etc., to improve consumer confidence. Once a food safety problem is found, the relevant departments can quickly trace the source and take measures to protect the rights and interests of consumers.

The application of smart ear tags in the whole process of smart farming helps to improve the level of breeding management and ensure the safety of animal-derived food. From production to the table, smart ear tags provide consumers with safe and healthy meat products.

With the continuous progress of technology, the function of smart ear tags will be more diversified and accurate, and it will become an important force to promote the development of smart farming. Through the wide application of smart ear tags, the aquaculture industry can achieve a more efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable development model.
