RFID to Help Prevent Bird Flu

Due to its promising capability in livestock tracking, the Thai government recently considered the adoption of RFID technology for its poultry identification program in connection with the bird flu outbreak. [via RFID News]

"One of the advantages in using RFID is the ability to track the movement of livestock or human beings without interrupting any normal activities. The tracking data can be fed automatically to any database systems for further analysis. In the event of any emergency situation it would be possible to trace back the history stored in a database."
