The Veterinary Department of Malaysia's Ministry of Agriculture
introduced a livestock-tracking RFID technology
for easier identification, providing access to relevant data such as:
bearer's location, name of breeder, origin of livestock, sex, and dates
of movement. This program is the first of its kind in Asia, and is
expected to increase the competitiveness of Malaysian livestock industry
in international markets by satisfying the regulatory requirements of
importing countries like United States, Europe and Middle East. Tracking
by RFID will also help producers meet the dietary standards by the halal market. The program will also provide improvements in controlling disease outbreaks in livestock program in 2009 to track the estimated
80,000 cattle all across the country..
