The Dutch pork industry plans to replace traditional metal slaughter marks with UHF RFID ear tags by 2027 to address welfare regulations and operational inefficiencies following the ban on electric prods. This transition offers integrators a significant market opportunity in livestock management, as moving to digital identification improves individual animal traceability and data accuracy throughout the supply chain.
