Body

A demonstration site has been developed in conjunction with Warrawagine Station and the Department of Agriculture and Food to investigate the benefits of maintaining individual animal records to improve herd productivity. The use of Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID) associated with the introduction of the National Livestock Identification Scheme (NLIS) has allowed cattle records to be stored electronically and accessed easily in subsequent musters.
