Computerized Cows Aims To Track Livestock Identity
Montana State University professors Harley Leach and John Hanton developed an Electronic Livestock Identification system. They implant a transistorized capsule in a cow or sheep stomach that emits a coded signal read by a receiver, providing a registration number for data access. The device aids performance breeding, disease control, and brand inspection, and cannot be modified though removal requires surgery or slaughter.
