Smart Ear Tags: Guardians of the Ranch

Old Zhang, the ranch owner, still winced at the memory of last year’s cold snap. It had killed over twenty cows, and the loss was compounded by the fact that ordinary ear tags had fallen off, making insurance claims all but impossible. The incident had left a constant ache in his heart.

“Dad! The Haikang technician is here with the smart ear tags!” His son’s voice jolted him out of his reverie. Li, the technician, demonstrated the RFID smart ear tags, which could upload real-time data on the herd to the cloud. Zhang stared at the health metrics flickering on the screen, finally feeling a sense of security.

One early morning three months later, the monitoring alarm blared. Cow No. 6 showed abnormal body temperature, while Cow No. 3’s plummeted to 0°C. Zhang rushed into the barn, immediately treating Cow No. 6. Its vital signs gradually stabilized, sparing him further loss. But Cow No. 3 lay motionless, already gone. He contacted the insurance company right away. The next morning, an adjuster arrived in a hurry, using a tablet to quickly verify the cow’s identity and health data via its smart ear tag. Within eight hours, the insurance payout hit his account.

Today, every cow wears a “digital ID.” Thanks to the continuous health data, Zhang can now process insurance claims seamlessly. “Before, they said, ‘Even if you’re worth a fortune, livestock don’t count,’” he mused. “Now, technology has our backs.”

*Ordinary ear tags have high detachment rates, pose insurance fraud risks, incur high tagging costs, and lack intelligence/digitalization.
