Traceback success rate of an electronic feedlot to slaughter information system for beef cattle
1997
Basarab, J.A. | Milligan, D. | Thoriakson, B.E.
The traceback success rate of an electronic feedlot to slaughter information system was evaluated using 4186 yearling cattle from three Alberta feedlots. Each animal was identified with an external Allflex electronic identification (EID) eartag before the end of the feeding period. The EID number was scanned with stationary Allflex TIRIS readers at the abattoir and electronically linked to its carcass data. The traceback success rate was 39.8% from abattoir to feedlot and 46.4% from abattoir to herd of origin.
