UHF RFID Animal Ear Tag — Livestock Identification & Tracking for Indian Agriculture
The Identium UHF RFID Animal Ear Tag is a passive UHF RFID tag specifically designed for permanent livestock identification. Built to withstand the outdoor conditions of Indian farms — UV exposure, rain, mud, and animal movement — the tag delivers reliable read performance at 1–3 metres range, enabling hands-free identification as animals pass through chutes, gates, or weighbridges.
Compatible with India's National Animal Disease Control Programme (NADCP) and state livestock schemes requiring electronic identification, the tag supports EPC Gen2 encoding with a unique TID for tamper-evident identity.

Frequently asked questions
What is the read range of a UHF RFID animal ear tag?
The Identium UHF RFID animal ear tag reads reliably at 1 to 3 metres, so cattle and other livestock are identified hands-free as they pass through chutes, gates or over a weighbridge. It is a passive EPC Gen2 tag on India's 865 to 867 MHz band and needs no battery.
Is this ear tag suitable for NADCP and state livestock schemes?
Yes. The UHF RFID animal ear tag is compatible with India's National Animal Disease Control Programme and state livestock schemes requiring electronic identification. It supports EPC Gen2 encoding with a unique TID for tamper-evident identity, so each animal record is tied to a chip identity that cannot be duplicated by rewriting the EPC.
Will the RFID ear tag survive outdoor farm conditions in India?
Yes. The animal ear tag is built with a UV-resistant and chemical-resistant HDPE or TPU shell for the outdoor conditions of Indian farms, including sun, rain, mud and constant animal movement. It is purpose-built for ear application in a flexible flag or button form factor for permanent identification.
