Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$25,000.00
Closing the Loop
FY 2015-16
Summary
SAIT will collaborate with the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) to develop and test prototypes of
a system for the automated retirement of radiofrequency identification (RFID) cattle tags. The CCIA is a small
organization supported by revenue from cattle tags and administration fees paid by cattle producers. The
requested funds will help CCIA access the expertise and infrastructure at SAIT for industry-leading innovation,
in order to address weaknesses in the data integrity of the Canadian cattle traceability system. The project is
part of a growing roster of agricultural technology research carried out at SAIT and involving staff, students
and faculty.
