RADIO frequency identification technology in farming management system

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology refer to a wireless systems that allows device to read information contain in a wireless device or ‘tag’ from a distance without any physical contact or requiring a line of sight between the two. It provides a method to transmit and receive data from one point to another. This project used RFID technology to identify the status of animal, in this case are cows. The tag stores a serial number that identifies the cow and information such as the Animal ID, Animal Type, Repro Status, Lacto Status and others that are related. When the cows pass through the gate that has reader, the antenna enables the chip to transmit the identification information to a reader. The reader converts the radio waves reflected back from the RFID tag into digital information that can then be passed on to computers. The interface that is being used in this project is visual basic programming (VB6). This interface will appear on the computer and all the data that are stored can be seen here. The information in the interface can be changed. This system would definitely facilitate the whole management in cow farming to be more efficient and easy.
