Abstrakt: Traditional livestock identification and tracking techniques have been used for a while, but their performance is constrained by their susceptibility to theft, fraud, and security issues. This review discusses bioactive identifiers, biometric identifiers, barcodes, radio frequency identification and others as current means of identifying livestock and the potential benefits of using biometric identification systems such as improved accuracy and efficiency, as well as their ability to provide more reliable data than traditional identification methods. We also discussed the challenges and concerns associated with the use of biometric identification systems. Selecting the best method from the classical approaches involves various considerations, such as the size of the farm, the cost, and the required functions of the identification process. The article concludes by discussing the future of biometric identification systems in the livestock industry. We recommend that farmers should consider these factors in choosing the best animal identification system for their farms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
