Salt Stone Reader Brochure

The saltstone reader is placed at the entrance of an enclosed area where the animals go to lick the saltstone. The saltstone reader will record the animal ID by reading their RFID eartags when they pass by the reader. The recordings are sent through the phone network to the BioControl server, and the user can go to our webpage to see the recorded readings. The saltstone reader uses a solar panel and a battery to store energy, and can therefore be placed in an area without access to electricity. Animals that have not been recorded lately are marked in red, and lambs that are not following their mother are also marked in red.
