Tag Readers
There are two categories of RFID reader types:
-
- Stationary readers are defined as not requiring direct human intervention in order to operate. They are intended to be installed and operated in fixed locations. Important requirements include increased read range and automated operation. Most, if not all, stationary readers will have separate transceivers and antennas.
- Mobile readers are intended to be used in applications where stationary readers are impractical. In addition to read range, other important attributes include mobility, versatility, ruggedness and cost.

Provincial/territorial livestock traceability programs sometimes provide partial funding to eligible applicants. The goal of each program is to support industry members to address traceability issues and meet current and proposed livestock traceability requirements. Programs are funded by Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative. Typically, funding is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please contact your provincial department of agriculture for more information.
