Are you a pig farmer and considering starting individual monitoring via electronic ear tags? Then consult the PigID practical guide now, which explains step by step what is needed to get started with this. This guide was developed as part of the PigID project, working with pig farmers to discover which (individual) animal data are really useful. Are you interested in individual follow-up within the project? We are still looking for pig farmers who want to apply one or more rounds of electronic ear-tagging to their piglets.

Today, technical systems already exist that allow you to track each fattening pig individually (from birth to slaughter) via electronic identification. In the PigID project We work with pig farmers to discover which (individual) animal data really useful. Think of info on growth, health, medication use or performance. Together, we want to find ways to make the farm run better: financially and practically. The aim of this project is clear: to help pig farmers manage their business better by identifying opportunities through traceability of each animal.
For pig farmers wishing to start individual tracking via RFID (Radio-Frequency IDentification), a practical guide developed. The guide explains step by step what you need: from electronic ear tags and readers to management software. You will also find practical examples, tips from fellow pig farmers, FAQs and initial findings from the project.
We are looking for you!
We are looking for pig breeders who will work during want to cooperate for one or a few rounds.
