“Our sheep tracing data helps fight the spread of disease.”
Ben Wilkinson
Development Lead and Application Product Manager
Australia/New Zealand
To help alleviate disease outbreaks in animals, we need to know where the animals have been and who they have come into contact with during their lifetime. For example, in Australia we work with a local state agency to trace the health, well-being and movements of lambs and sheep at several saleyards and other industry sites, who are fitted with our electronic identification tags.
