饲养行为包含有价值的信息，可用于各种需求，包括管理牲畜，识别生病的动物，并确定牛群内的遗传差异。喂食行为最初只记录在个人或小组围栏。目前，有商业上可用的系统，确定喂养行为和饲料摄入量;然而，这些系统限制了对喂养站的访问，从而改变了喂养行为。利用射频识别（RFID）技术和一系列多路复用器开发了一个系统，以确定工业型饲养系统中的个体动物的饲养行为。该系统已应用于饲养场牛和生长肥育猪。牛系统的验证确定其与独立视频监控设备的一致率为98.3%，猪系统的一致率为98.7%。这两种系统在畜牧业环境中都被证明是坚固可靠的。
Feeding behavior contains valuable information that can be used for various needs, including managing livestock, identifying animals that are sick, and determining genetic differences within a herd. Feeding behavior initially was recorded only in individual or small group pens. Currently, there are commercially available systems that determine feeding behavior and feed intake; however, these systems limit access to the feeding stations, thus changing feeding behavior. A system was developed using radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and a series of multiplexers to determine individual animal feeding behavior in an industry-type feeding system. This system has been applied to both feedlot cattle and grow-finish swine. Validation of the cattle system determined that it was in agreement with independent video monitoring equipment 98.3% of the time, and the swine system was in agreement 98.7% of the time. Both systems have proven to be rugged and reliable in livestock industry settings.
