常见问题

What are RFID tags for animals?

RFID (radio frequency identification) tags for animals are small devices that store and transmit data about the animal. These tags are typically implanted under the skin or attached to the ear and allow for quick and accurate identification.

What information can be stored on an RFID tag?

This depends on the type of tag and reader chosen by the user. However, most RFID tags can store a variety of information, including the animal's identification number, breed, birth date, health records and vaccination history. Data can be accessed quickly with an RFID reader.

How long do RFID tags last?

RFID tags are designed to be durable and long-lasting. They typically have a lifespan that matches or exceeds the animal's expected life, often lasting for many years without needing replacement.

Are RFID tags safe for pets?

Yes, RFID tags are safe for pets. Glass RFID tags are made with biocompatible materials that do not cause adverse reactions. For example, HID’s Glass RFID tags are enclosed in biocompatible glass. The optional parylene coating improves and accelerates tissue adhesion, preventing the movement of tags implanted subcutaneously into pets.

Can RFID tags be used for all types of animals?

Yes, RFID tags can be used for a wide variety of animals, including pets (dogs, cats), livestock (cattle, sheep, pigs), zoo environments, insects and wildlife. The type of tag and method of application may vary based on the species and specific needs.

What are the benefits of using RFID tags for animal identification?

RFID tags provide numerous benefits, including easy and accurate identification, streamlined recordkeeping, improved tracking of health and vaccination status and enhanced management of breeding programs. 

Do I need special equipment to read RFID tags?

Yes, you will need an RFID reader to read the information stored on the tags. RFID readers come in various forms, including handheld devices and stationary scanners, and can be selected based on your specific requirements and environment.
