This ear tag because of its advanced tracking technology is attached to the cattle's ear. It allows the ranchers to verify individual animals quickly, thus reducing the problems of feeding the wrong animal or losing cattle. It can help the ranchers in identifying and recording each cattle for its whole life cycle. This is because of availability of security and easy communication between the transponder and RFID readers.
The RFID tag is made of polyurethane housing, a material that prevents the bacteria from spreading in the cattle's ear when it is inserted. It is operated at 125KHz, 134KHz or 13.56MHz.
This RFID ear tag comes in different shapes and colors for different kinds of cattle tracking choice. Also, this experiment can be done on other animals like sheep, pigs and other livestock animals.

RFID Employment
on May 7, 2011
Washable RFID chips are helping hotels curb their linen from being robbed. Developed by Miami-based Linen Technology Tracking, the washable RFID chips are sewn into towels, bathrobes and bedsheets so that hotels can monitor their linens better.
Executive vice-president of Linen Technology Tracking, William Serbin says, on an average hotels lose between 5% - 20% of their hotel linen monthly. The washable RFID chips help hotels adjust their stock accordingly by offering data on inventory and controlling as well as updating knowledge on losses.
These new RFID chips are proving to be a boon for hotels at a time when the cost of cotton is rising significantly. So far, three high-end unnamed hotels in New York, Miami and Honolulu are using the LTT RFID chips. Of these the Honolulu hotel that customarily lost 4,000 pool towels every month is losing just 750 towels after using the LTT RFID chips, saving more than USD 16,000.
