Established to meet livestock identification and traceability requirements mandated by the European Union (EU) in 1999, NLIS is the largest and most sophisticated livestock database and management system in the world. NLIS livestock producers are required to positively identify cattle. To meet these requirements, they are using a rumen pellet or ear tag containing a low frequency (134.2 kHz) RFID transponder. These RFID devices feature read / write capabilities, allowing producers to add, change, or retrieve details relating to each animal, such as health information, farm location history, market eligibility, and commercial information, on the spot.
