Adopting new methods means changes that can be uncomfortable for many. RFID technology will not be driven by its novelty. The first and foremost driver is a continued strong demand for product quality and accountability. Consumers will soon demand complete traceability for meat products. International competition for high quality markets also drives the adoption of RFID-based technologies.
Efficient operations require uniformity.
The second driver is the evolution to production methods, facilities, and management that are fully compatible with RFID methods. Modern production systems make full use of RFID possible. Disciplined biological and financial management of enterprises depend upon accurate, timely and individual animal information. The third driver is the evolving work force in livestock agriculture. Personnel are more highly dedicated and professionally trained.
