RFID technology leads beef cattle breeding into the "core" era

China is the fourth largest beef producer in the world. According to relevant information, China has 138 million cattle in stock and has a beef output of 6.759 million tons. But the per capita output of beef is only 4.3 kg, which is lower than the world average of 9.8 kg. In international trade, China's export of fresh frozen beef is still very small, accounting for only about 1% of world trade. The export of beef is monopolized by developed countries, but China has always been in a weak position in terms of exports. Compared with developed countries, China's beef industry is actually still at the primary stage, especially in terms of production level, epidemic control, meat product safety, and efficient pasture management. There is still a big gap between China's beef industry development and development. The bottleneck factor of entering the international market.

The developed countries of the European Union, the United States, Australia and other countries have issued laws and regulations, which have imposed mandatory requirements on the traceability of the quality and safety of meat products. In recent years, food safety problems have emerged, and China has given priority to animal husbandry policies, especially beef cattle comprehensive promotion of animal husbandry informatization, regional planning, etc. will certainly promote the establishment of traceability, tracking management system and industrial Rapid development to improve the international competitiveness of China's beef cattle industry.

Shanxi Zhengda Dairy and Beef Farms took the lead in animal identification and tracing from the perspective of RFID, began to explore the construction of quality and safety management systems for meat foods in breeding, production, transportation and sales, and then developed animal labels and animal labels suitable for animal husbandry. Traceability system-RFID animal husbandry breeding management system, this system tracks and monitors the entire process of livestock from breeding to sales, when the outbreak occurs, it can be traced back. Through this system, the health department can trace the animals that may be infected with the disease to determine their attribution and historical traces. At the same time, the system can provide real-time, detailed and reliable data from birth to slaughter. Practice has proved that the use of RFID technology for animal husbandry management can help enterprises achieve information management in the breeding process, so that they can take timely measures to avoid serious disasters and losses. Establish a good brand image in the industry and in front of the public, significantly improve product competitiveness, and improve the management and control of farmers on the base through management methods to achieve win-win and sustainable development.

introduction

The “RFID Beef Breeding Management System” proposed by Shanxi Zhengda Dairy and Beef Farms is to use RFID as an information carrier, and rely on network, system integration and database technology to establish a set of information platform within the scope of the cattle farm to realize the entire industry chain. In the whole process from feed, breeding, epidemic prevention to the sales terminal, the whole process is recorded. At the same time, relevant departments can use this platform to effectively query and supervise various activities of the industrial chain, and timely and accurate data statistics.

System architecture: The system is composed of breeding management center, breeding farm management subsystem, channel management system, monitoring management system, and breeding personnel management system. The center establishes a large database, and each subsystem connects to the center and realizes data sharing.

System content: including beef cattle electronic tag, radio frequency identification device, computer network and application software. Combining with the actual situation of beef cattle breeding in China, after many successful cases and practices, Shanxi Zhengda has created the matching hardware equipment for the RFID beef cattle breeding management system. The equipment includes 134.2KHz RFID low-frequency animal biological glass tube label (product model: C112004) and 134.2KHz low-frequency handheld animal RFID reader (product model: 222005). Inject this glass tube label on each cow first, and then through the matching low-frequency handheld animal RFID reader to identify the matching settings, combined with the established background management software system that can monitor and control, you can achieve the cattle farm. Each beef cattle in the whole process of monitoring and positioning tracking.

System management content

1 Establish identity management, establish identity for beef cattle and their products

The system sets an electronic mark for each cow, and the mark has 16 significant digits, that is, there is more than 100 trillion unique data, so the status of each cow can be obtained one by one without confusion or Repeated and will not change, to ensure that the data and indicators of the managed objects are absolutely accurate and reliable. The traceability of dairy products can be traced back to the household, and even specific to each cow.

2 Establish controllable management and establish a precise feeding database of beef cattle

After adopting this system, the diet, exercise, and health status of each cow in each unit can be automatically controlled 24 hours a day, and a health warning is set in the computer. Can be confirmed and processed in a timely manner, its controllability is extremely high. Breeding enterprises can easily use the computer to obtain macro or personal inventory, slaughter, epidemic situation and make accurate choices. Once a problem occurs, it can be traced back to each enterprise, or even each specific cow, so that it is easy to take measures in time for the problem. The changes in the control of the cattle by the government or the enterprise and the group are clear at a glance. After the enterprise, the group itself or the individual retailer configures the system, the growth status and the health status of the cattle are automatically entered and cannot be concealed.

3 Establish economic management and optimize daily management system of beef farm

The system can automatically adjust the feed distribution according to the livestock condition. For example, the amount of feed should be increased during the development period of beef cattle. The finished product should be slaughtered in time. One day of storage will cause a lot of waste. The system can accurately alert the administrator and automatically adjust the type and quantity of feed in order to reduce feeding costs.

4 Establish information management

After realizing the integration of relevant departments' information, this system will be used to link livestock breeding enterprises and government epidemic prevention departments, veterinary departments, feed supply departments, meat supply and marketing departments, import and export companies, and scientific research institutions to share information and control it in a timely manner.

5 Establish standardization and international management to promote access to international markets

After adopting the system, all enterprise groups and retail investors can be included in the standardized management system on their own, so that various enterprises in various regions can adjust in time according to different animal breeds and international requirements for animal products, and implement the best breeding management measures.

The benefits of using RFID management system in cattle farm

1 Improve the management level of the cattle farm, greatly improve the production efficiency

It provides a modern management method for the identification of beef cattle. It can be tracked and managed from the feeding to the final market, and the feeding and growth conditions are accurately recorded. At the same time, it is easy to manage the cattle into the shed, prevent the occurrence of diseases, and save the feeding cost. Improve the efficiency of breeding. It solves the real-time and complete automatic data collection of breeding enterprises, reduces production losses, improves labor productivity, and increases breeding efficiency.

2 Improve the traceability of beef cattle and products, control their epidemic diseases, and form a perfect epidemic prevention and control system

Due to the recent continuous food safety incidents and the strong reaction of consumers to food safety, we must pay attention to and rebuild the severely backward animal and food public safety system. Therefore, it is the most scientific approach to control management from the source, and implement ID card management for high-value animals such as beef cattle. Establish the whole process of health and epidemic prevention monitoring from birth, breeding, transportation, slaughtering to the final entry into the circulation field.

3 Improve the safety and sanitation management of meat products, improve China's food hygiene and epidemic prevention system, and provide guarantee for entering the international market

The RFID beef cattle breeding management system is applied to the automatic identification and control of beef cattle to realize various information for each batch and each cow, including feeding management, health status, and sanitary inspection and quarantine qualification, weight, and fat thickness in slaughter. Collection and visual management of production and processing procedures. At the same time, it also solves the tracking and tracing of carcass identification during the processing and sales of slaughtering and processing enterprises. It has very important practical significance and value for animal husbandry food safety and health management, as well as China's meat food entering the international market.

Conclusion

The development of information-based fine breeding based on RFID technology is not only the need to reflect and realize the standardization, standardization and modernization of China's animal husbandry, but also an inevitable requirement to shorten the gap with other countries. This system of Zhengda has been successfully applied to many domestic cattle farm demonstration bases, and it has been very fruitful. This move has brought a wind of reform for the widespread promotion of domestic RFID beef cattle breeding.
