Live Animal Receiving
CAT Squared‘s Live Animal Receiving application is the first step in improving traceability and yield tracking.
Cattle are assigned a lot number and entered into the harvest schedule for daily production. Livestock is received into the plant then labeled with bar codes or RFID tags to interface data from growers into the plant’s system. The animal is identified by ear tag and back tag. After slaughter, the RFID tag is married to each carcass side for tracking.
