eTattoo™ approval

Eriginate™ Corporation announces USDA approval of its eTattoo™ tag, the first ultra-high radio frequency identification (UHF RFID) tag and the first non-low-frequency tag to be approved for use with the “840” Animal Identification Number.

eTattoo is the first and only cattle-management system to utilize UHF RFID, operating at 915 MHz. The tag allows users to collect data from individual animals housed in large pens or across groups of pens in a fraction of a second, even while animals are moving. The read range is optimized to allow producers to collect data from either the front or back of the animal at a distance of up to 25 ft. using a fixed reader, or up to 15 ft. using a handheld device.

eTattoo is a panel-style tag that incorporates both visual and electronic identification, enabling management information to be printed on the tag and alleviating the need for separate visual and RFID tags. Because of the enhanced performance of the eTattoo technology, the tags and readers can be quickly incorporated into existing cattle handling systems without the need for costly infrastructure changes.

Bale density adjuster

Get on-the-go control of density of small square bales with Scott Seaver Co. LLC's Unstoppable Density Adjustor™. An enhancement to the Airbaler system introduced in 2007 and now in use by hay growers throughout North America, the new Adjustor includes a baler-mounted air compressor and a tractor cab-mounted switch that allows the operator to increase or decrease the density of bales with the flip of a switch to add or remove air pressure from the system without slowing down. Bales of consistent size and weight stack and ship better, thus providing hay buyers with added value.
