SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING ANIMAL BREEDING EFFICIENCY

摘要

An enhanced electronic identification device (10) is attached to the ear of a female animal. The EEID (10) identifies the animal and records internal body temperature at key times. A transponder (20) is attached to a male animal and detects proximity of the male animal to the female animal. When an interaction event of sufficient duration occurs, the female identity and temperature information (14) is received by the transponder (20) and relayed to an analysis network (50) for determining critical times, dates, and other breeding efficiency factors.
