Canadian cattle can be traced back to their point of origin with ear tags that contain unique identification numbers.

Transcript: (Cow/calf farm)

John-We've had a national identification program here in Canada since 2001. This is one of the bar coded ear tags. This number will stay with this animal from birth right through to the end of his life. and this is the new radio frequency tags that we've put into our animals. This is the tool that we use to put the...

SAIT RADLab: Livestock tracking project

RADLab researchers at SAIT’s Applied Research and Innovation Services department have developed a new system for reading and tracking livestock.

This high-tech solution has been successfully field-tested, and the Canadian Cattle Agency and Canadian Food Inspection Agency are evaluating the implementation of the system.

The RADLab worked with industry partners across the food chain to develop the system, which uses ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and...
