Complete Lifecycle Management
for your Livestock Operation
The Electronic Animal Recognition System, EARS, is a modern animal management
concept that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to individually identify
animals for a wide range of automated information-based management systems which
extend the ability of your best-qualified personnel to understand the immediate
status of every animal. Some of these systems include:
- TEAM system - Reproductive management of group-housed gilts
and sows from breeding through farrowing.
- FIRE system - Measure daily growth and feed performance of
individual animals kept in groups. Select top-performing
animals for genetic improvement.
- Weight Watcher system - Automate daily weighing and sorting
chores for grow-finish animals. Market animals at the exact
weight packers demand.
- e-LOG data capture devices - Automate data recording and
transfer records seamlessly from barn to computer with portable and
stationary handheld devices. Ensure complete traceability from
farm to slaughter with radio frequency identification (RFID).
- e-VENT ventilation controls - Manage barn temperatures and
environmental settings from the comfort of your office
computer.
- e-PAC quality system - Integrate information from
farm-to-slaughter-to-consumer. Achieve quality goals and
satisfy world market requirements.
Real-time data capture is a valuable asset!
Immediate use of the integrated information from the various
management systems into a common, centralized, information-based system is the heart of
the EARS program.  From birth to slaughter,
EARS technology provides producers with complete
life-cycle control of each individual animal so that each animal makes a
positive contribution to a total value-based production system.
With EARS technology, livestock producers can use information and automation
to achieve improved performance and production. Like all Osborne Industries innovations, complete life cycle
management using EARS technology promises improved control and profitability
over conventional methods.
The EARS program and its system of practical applications bring the full
advantage of microelectronics, automation, and information to the livestock
producer. This enables the producer to perform at peak competitive efficiency
with the most modern tools available.
