TruTest EID Readers
Cattle/Sheep identification has both visual and management benefits.
By identifying your cattle individually with cattle ear tags, you (and others) can more easily determine which cow is which. In addition, being able to track an animal’s history and performance helps you determine which ones are performing well. With the use of a tag reader, weighing/drafting/sorting becomes a one-person job with auto weight recording. Using Electronic Identification (EID) ear tags can significantly speed up the weighing process. This help to reduce errors from manual input and offer potential labour savings. When read by an EID reader, the EID tag automatically triggers the weigh scale indicator to recognise the animal, record the weight against it. This brings up other information relevant to the animal, depending on the level of indicator you are using.
Advantages
Using Electronic ID tags has many advantages. One is that it offers another form of identification for each animal. Another plus is that an animal can be easily identified by scanning the tag with a reader, rather than needing to have the animal be completely still to read a visual tag number. Scanning EID tags rather than writing down EID numbers is a tremendous benefit in saving time and minimising errors. As cattle are being worked or loaded into a trailer, their EID tag can be scanned while they are on the move.

XRP2 Panel Reader
A Fixed Panel reader
The XRP2 TruTest EID Readers is built around Tru-Test’s state of the art digital signal processing that gives optimum read range while automatically reducing unwanted interference.
Its revolutionary fast auto tuning provides maximum performance under all conditions. The fixed panel reader environment isn’t static. Small changes in the metalwork or the simple action of opening a metal gate on a crush or crate can affect the reader’s range and read speed performance. Tru-Test’s EID panel readers maintain optimal performance through these changing conditions by returning up to 18 times per second. Ensuring consistent accurate tag reads throughout your weighing session.
