Description (French)
Un système de surveillance RFID doté d'un système d'alerte précoce pour gérer la santé et le bien-être du bétail en parc d'engraissement. Le système alerte de manière fiable les éleveurs des indicateurs de maladie jusqu'à sept jours avant l'apparition de symptômes visibles de la maladie. En surveillant les animaux 24 heures sur 24 et 7 jours sur 7, le système assure la traçabilité de toute l'activité du lot, en faisant correspondre l'historique de l'animal à partir du moment où il est étiqueté sur le site, jusqu'à sa vente. Grâce à son prix abordable et à sa facilité d'installation, ce système peut être ajouté à n'importe quel parc d'engraissement. Il améliore la traçabilité et la rentabilité tout en fournissant des soins améliorés au bétail.
