INFORMATIONAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND CAGES

摘要

An information management system, livestock management system and cages with which chickens can be managed as individual units. A tag reader 8 communicates with a transponder 5 attached to chicken 2 in cage 1 through a passive antenna disposed on one surface of cage 1 so that the distance from transponder 5 is within a first predetermined distance and an active antenna 7 disposed on automatic feeder 4 so that the distance from passive antenna 6 when closest is within a second predetermined distance whereby power can be supplied using electromagnetic coupling, and reads management information for chicken 2 from transponder 5 or writes it to transponder 5. This information management system can be used for other livestock and for other moving objects.
