Electronic identification (EID) of animals is using technology to individually identify animals. ... The approach with EID is to attach a small electronic chip to the animal. This chip is programmed with a unique number. A machine called a reader can quickly trigger the chip to send out a signal with the unique number. ... The reader provides the information to a computer data base that quickly locates and makes available the information on the animal. 3, record 1, English, - electronic%20identification%20of%20animals
