Abstract

This paper aims to describe the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in live cattle supply chain in Australia, Canada, Europe, Japan and the USA. This paper also discusses three themes about RFID in the international cattle chain: the context of RFID's use, the legislation and consumer privacy. This last theme represents a huge problem to countries that use RFID. They have to create laws to support their discussions about RFID when they evaluate the cost/benefit relation. Global markets require traceability to control the quality of products. The food safety is considered, too. Some operations could be more controlled by RFID, such as processing. This research uses a qualitative method based on documents, scientific papers and secondary data from these countries.
