Livestock RFID REaders
Technology to make your life easier.
What is EID?
EID tags enable you to accurately, quickly and automatically identify an individual animal, eliminating the need to enter tag numbers manually.
EID also makes it practical to record individual animal performance and other information – such as source, breeding or treatment information.
Using EID with an electronic weigh scale indicator means you can view animal’s full performance history instantly while you’re weighing in the field, which helps you make important management decisions quickly.
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.

Benefits Of Using Livestock Tag Reader
ACCURACY - A tag reader allows the user to record information accurately
SAVES TIME - A tag reader can record data in a split second, even if the animal is on the move, saving time in documenting the data and having to stop and catch the animal for manual identification.
CONVENIENCE - A tag reader offers the convenience of having Visual Identification Tags, Electronic Identification Tags, animal history, and health all synced together in one overall place.
FAST - A tag reader can make your record-keeping easier by downloading data into spreadsheet format or, in some cases, the included animal management software. It also can read and record a tag instantaneously.
CONFIDENCE - A tag reader gives the user confidence that the data has been entered correctly without the worry of human errors, unable to see the tag or transcription mistakes visually.
DATA BACK-UP - The data can, and should be, backed up to the cloud or your computer to allow for easy record keeping and backup of your information. No need to worry about lost books or pieces of paper with record-keeping information.
Why Weigh your Livestock?
01
Weighing replaces guesswork with facts, making it a powerful performance measurement tool for farmers. The information provided by weigh scales assists critical decision making about feed, health treatments and herd size management.
02
On its own, weighing is a valuable addition to your operation. However, with the emergence of EID, an opportunity exists to maximise the potential of the collected weigh data.
03
Weighing your stock in line with target weights replaces guess work with facts, helping you make better informed decisions around feed, treatment and selling.
Benefits Of Weighing
Ensure livestock are sold at the optimum weight grade – closely manage the weight gains of individual animals or herds and tailor your feed and treatment inputs as required.
Monitor reproductive performance – closely monitoring the weight gain of offspring can help make breeding decisions to maximise reproductive performance.
Minimise treatment waste– more accurately calculate drench/pour-on dosage based on the requirements of the individual animal to minimise treatment waste while also maximising the health of your livestock.
Identify sick or lame animals early – regular weighing of individual animals means weight loss and other issues that manifest over time are identified quickly.
Verifiable tracking of animal welfare practices – for assessments or audits such as Verified Beef Production Plus (VBP+)
Record animal health treatment on the spot – vaccinations and medication can be easily monitered.
Life data tracking – of a herd to assist in birth and death records for age verification and audit purposes.
Drug with-hold days are monitored – with ability to issue alerts if an animal is scanned prior to the withdrawal period
How Does EID Work With Your Weigh System?
With an EID compatible Weigh scale Data collector, EID panel or stick reader, animals can be scanned at the time of weighing.
Individual animal weights and other traits can be recorded against each animal’s unique ID number. Information is stored within the weigh scale Data collector ready for you to view in the yard or back at the office, transferred to your computer, electronic device, or upload to online databases.
