Smarter Identification Tracking for Livestock and Pets

From RFID to QR codes, AnimalWatch365 delivers intelligent solutions for traceability, health monitoring, and operational control.

Advanced Identification Tracking

In a world increasingly shaped by data and automation, advanced identification tracking has become vital for ensuring the safety, health, and efficiency of animal management. From small pet care providers to large-scale livestock operations, businesses across North America are turning to smart tracking technologies to streamline workflows, improve compliance, and enhance animal welfare. These technologies go beyond basic tagging—delivering actionable insights, simplifying record-keeping, and enabling real-time traceability across diverse environments. Designed for scalability and reliability, our B2B solutions empower operators to monitor individual animals with precision, automate health histories, and optimize resource use without added complexity. Whether the goal is regulatory compliance, disease control, or operational efficiency, modern identification systems provide the foundation for smarter animal care. With flexible deployment options and seamless integration capabilities, these tools adapt to the unique demands of each operation—helping businesses stay proactive, connected, and in control of their animal populations.

Extensive Description

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Tags

RFID tags are revolutionizing how animals are tracked and managed across farms, breeding centers, and shelters. These tags can be applied externally (ear tags or collars) or embedded internally, depending on operational needs. Passive RFID tags respond to nearby scanners without requiring a power source, while active RFID tags transmit signals over longer distances, ideal for large-scale or remote operations. With RFID, you can automate livestock check-ins, streamline inventory, and connect identification data directly to feeding systems, breeding cycles, and medical alerts

NFC (Near Field Communication) Tags

NFC tags offer the convenience of smartphone-based scanning—no specialized readers required. These tags allow handlers, caretakers, and even pet owners to tap the tag with a mobile device and instantly retrieve the animal's profile, including medical history, feeding schedules, and breeding records. Perfect for high-turnover environments like pet boarding, livestock transport, or community vet clinics, NFC adds digital agility to traditional ID practices. AnimalWatch365 supports cloud-integration to ensure up-to-date data is always a tap away.

Visual Ear Tags

A staple in livestock identification, visual ear tags provide at-a-glance information such as numeric codes, color categories, or ranch branding. These tags are made from durable, weather-resistant materials that can withstand the elements in rough farm environments. With options for laser-etched barcodes, color-coded identifiers, and tamper-evident locks, AnimalWatch365 offers highly customizable solutions to fit operational needs. These tags are indispensable during manual herd inspections, auctions, or transport sorting when visual clarity is critical.

Microchips (Subdermal RFID)

Subdermal RFID microchips offer a permanent, tamper-proof way to identify pets and livestock. Inserted just beneath the skin—commonly between the shoulder blades in pets or at strategic injection points in livestock—these chips contain a unique ID number retrievable with a handheld scanner. Microchipping is a vital tool for animal recovery, ownership validation, and veterinary tracking. AnimalWatch365 provides biocompatible, ISO-standard microchips that are durable, safe, and designed for life-long identification, even in rugged or mobile environments.

QR Code & Barcode Labels

Simple to implement yet powerful in function, QR code and barcode labels are a cost-effective method of digital animal identification. These scannable tags can be printed on collars, equipment, paperwork, or even stable signage to link directly to digital records. A quick scan allows access to vaccination dates, health notes, or ownership details using common devices like smartphones or barcode readers. This makes QR and barcode tracking perfect for temporary use cases, such as veterinary events, adoption centers, or animal logistics.
