Desenvolvimento de sistema de identificação individual e rastreabilidade de bovinos de corte por RFID

Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop an individual identification and traceability system for beef cattle using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). The research was conducted with a view to creating a user-friendly module, aiming at self service, in order to allow producers, regardless of their level of knowledge of technologies, to feel capable of entering the necessary information to ensure the traceability of the animals. An easy-to-use system was designed for users with different levels of familiarity with computers, using the PHP language, designed for web development and executed on the server. In addition to PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and the Bootstrap framework were used, which facilitate the creation of responsive websites. The database structure was designed and created in MySQL, a relational database management system that allows the storage of various types of data. The results of the bibliographic review indicated that Brazil has reached a high level with the results of Brazilian livestock farming, with large investments that provide food safety and quality of meat for the Brazilian market. Likewise, the State of Rondônia has international health recognition status, as it has rigorously met the requirements and requirements of the foreign market, one of which is animal traceability, allowing for the identification of animals with greater security. During the development of the system, its efficiency was verified in all testing phases and its operation, with the platform's functionalities being validated using program-based testing, known as functional testing or black box testing. The system created was made available free of charge at the electronic address www.pmppa.com.br/rastreabilidade. Thus, it was concluded that the use of this system is relevant, as it aims to individually identify each animal belonging to the producers' herd and its entire history, with the primary focus being to ensure compliance with the required standards and health control.
