Evaluation of Iso 11785 Low-Frequency Radio Identification Devices and the Characterization of Electromagnetic Interference in Practical Cattle Management Scenarios EVALUATION OF ISO 11785 LOW-FREQUENCY RADIO IDENTIFICATION DEVICES AND THE CHARACTERIZATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE IN PRACTICAL CATTLE MANAGEMENT SCENARIOS by SARAH ELLEN RYAN B.S., Washington State University, 2006 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Animal Science and Industry College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2008 Approved by: Major Professor D. A. Blasi Abstract Low-frequency (LF) radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders (n = 1,993) representing both full-duplex and half duplex air interface technologies were evaluated. Transponders representing five manufacturers and seven types were evaluated for read distance (RD), resonance frequency (RF) and voltage response (VR). LF RFID transceivers (n = 24) were also evaluated for performance and variance as tested by read distance. Transponders were sorted into four categories based on RD performance on three transceivers, “Top 25%,” “Middle 50%,” “Bottom 25%,” and “No Read.” These categories were used for evaluation of transponders and transceivers in experiments one and two, respectively. In experiment one, the mean RF of the “Top 25%” transponders were closer to 134.2 kHz (P < 0.05) within a transponder type (TT). TT and mean RD performance category interacted to affect the VR of transponders (P < 0.05); transponders with lower VR tended to have longer RD within a TT. In experiment two, sixty transponders from the “Middle 50%” were used to evaluate transceivers. Transceivers represented five manufacturers and five transceivers per manufacturer; one transceiver was eliminated from testing due to mechanical problems. There was a significant interaction (P < 0.0001) for TT and transceiver manufacturer. This indicated that transceiver performance was greatly dependant on TT being interrogated. TT and transceiver manufacturer interacted to affect RD variance (P < 0.05) demonstrating that transceiver RD will vary depending on TT being interrogated. In the final study, electromagnetic interference (EMI) was evaluated in fourteen livestock auction markets, four feedlots and five cattle abattoirs. The presence of EMI is known to impair the performance of RFID equipment. However, this phenomenon in livestock management settings has not been quantified in the scientific literature. EMI (134.2 + 25 kHz) was observed in all abattoirs. However, the extent and duration of EMI varied depending on individual abattoir. The processing, load and unload areas were evaluated in commercial feedlots. The most EMI was observed in the processing area. Finally, EMI was observed at the sale ring exit at two livestock auction markets. EMI exists in livestock management settings and may negatively impact the performance of LF RFID.

An overview on currently know security threats for RFID systems, countermeasures and related cost aspects is given. This is followed by a brief overview on current areas of application for RFID. To put a light on status quo and trends of development in the private sector in the context of RFID, the results of a study carried out in 2004 and 2005 in Germany are summarised. This is followed by an overview on relevant standards in the context of RFID. This deliverable also includes a bibliography containing relevant literature in the context of RFID.

  • Guidelines for Development of Integrated Multipurpose Animal
    19 19 ISSN 1810-0708 Development of integrated multipurpose animal recording systems Development of integrated multipurpose animal recording FAO ANIMAL PRODUCTION AND HEALTH The Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources, adopted in 2007, is the first internationally agreed framework for the management of biodiversity in the livestock sector. It calls for the development of technical guidelines to support countries in their implementation efforts. Guidelines on the Preparation of national strategies and action plans for animal genetic resources were published by FAO in 2009 and are being complemented by a series of guideline publications addressing specific technical subjects. These guidelines on development of integrated multipurpose animal recording systems address Strategic Priority Area 2 of the Global Plan of Action – “Sustainable use and development”. They have been endorsed by the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. Animal identification and recording serve multiple purposes in a national livestock sector. They are a prerequisite to establishing and operating a genetic improvement programme and facilitate the monitoring of animal genetic resources. They also contribute to animal traceability and disease control. Traceability of animals and their guidelines products helps to identify sources of risk quickly and prevent contaminated or poor quality products from reaching consumers. Implementation of animal identification and traceability systems can enhance market access and generate larger incomes for producers and other players in the value chain, and help to deter livestock theft and prevent fraud. Therefore, animal identification and recording systems are not just information systems, they are also a powerful tool for livestock development and can contribute to global demands for food security and poverty alleviation.
