ANIMO (Animal Movement System), a computer-based tracking system for animal movements, was set up in 1990. [7] Its creation was triggered by directive 90/425/CEE. [8] On 15 July 1991, the directive of the Council 91/496/CEE [9] defined the veterinary checks to be carried out on imported goods from non-EU countries.
The animal's location can then be plotted against a map or chart in near real-time or, when analysing the track later, using a GIS package or custom software. GPS tracking devices may also be attached to domestic animals, such as pets, pedigree livestock and working dogs. Some owners use these collars for geofencing of their pets. [2]
In theory, this provides continuous natural ventilation of the pen areas and avoids reliance on mechanical ventilation systems. Ventilation is a key factor in the transport of live animals. When animal pens become poorly ventilated, oxygen depletion and a build-up of toxic gases, develops very rapidly.
The following is a list of countries by live animal exports. Data is for 2019, in millions of United States dollars, as reported by International Trade Centre. [1] Currently the top twenty countries are listed. #
Throughout most of human prehistory and history, the primary means of livestock transportation was by droving.The reason was usually either for seasonal grazing movement (to move them to a summer grazing range or to move them to an overwintering range or shelter) or to bring them to market of one form or another, whether bartering livestock (between farmers) or selling them (whether as stores ...
A GPS tracking unit, geotracking unit, satellite tracking unit, or simply tracker is a navigation device normally on a vehicle, asset, person or animal that uses satellite navigation to determine its movement and determine its WGS84 UTM geographic position (geotracking) to determine its location. [1] Satellite tracking devices may send special ...
MarineTraffic is a maritime analytics provider, [1] which provides real-time information on the movements of ships and the current location of ships in harbors and ports. [2] A database of information on the vessels includes for example details of the location where they were built plus dimensions of the vessels, gross tonnage and International ...
PLF tracks large animals, such as cows, "per animal", but smaller animals, such as poultry, "per flock", wherein the whole flock in a house is treated as one animal. Tracking "per flock" is widely used in broilers. PLF technologies include cameras, microphones, and other sensors for tracking livestock, as well as accompanying computer software.
