title = "Challenges on the use of electronic identification (EID) for tracking cattle in a segmented production system",
abstract = "Due to the segmentation of the cattle/beef production systems, neither information nor market price incentives communicate cattle performance effectively to cattle breeders. The result is suboptimal production performance and negative industry impacts due to poorer quality beef products. Through the use of precision agriculture technology - electronic identification tags, as part of a comprehensive assistance and education program can overcome obstacles and enable producers to enhance market prices by better breeding decisions.",
