NZ farmers not ready to adopt tagging systems for animals
The New Zealand farmers are not ready to adopt tagging systems for animals. They have stalled the introduction of compulsory RFID tagging systems for animals until mid 2008.
Once the RFID tagging becomes mandatory, then farmers are required to fix RFID tags to all cattle and deer. So they can be identified using wireless scanner, the Chairman of the pan-industry Animal Identification and Traceability Governance Group, Ian Corney said.
Each animal will be given a unique code. The code will be stored in a database. All the necessary information of an animal such as its sex, breed, owner and herd of origin is also stored in the database.
