RFID Tags to Detect Animal's Estrus

we make the money not art writes:

Researchers of the INRA in Montpellier (France) have devised a method that uses RFID tag to detect when female mammals are in heat.

A tag is injected under the skin of the female sheep. The male is equipped with a tag reader that reads and registers the tag number of the female animals that welcome "sexual intercourses". The data is then wirelessly transmitted to be analysed by the cattle owners. The system would enable a better management of artificial insimination in cattle.

With this modern technology, it is even easier to accurately predict animal birth! Link
