Collaborative project: Electronic identification, monitoring and management of pigs by UHF-RFID - subproject 2 (UTE2)
Project
Project code: 28RZ3IP043
Contract period: 15.02.2017
- 14.08.2019
Budget: 128,915 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
Keywords: husbandry techniques, precision livestock farming, pigs, meat, animal health, prevention, animal welfare
Aim of the project is the advancement of an ultra-high frequency radio frequency identification system (UHF-RFID) for automatic and continuous monitoring and documentation of animal health and animal welfare indicators for breeding sows as well as the acquisition of animal welfare indicators, performance and management data in piglets and fattening pigs. Central point of the exploitation plan is the opening of UHF technology for use in pig husbandry and other parts of livestock farming to achieve an optimised farm and herd management, an automated monitoring of animal welfare and a better traceability of the animals.
