Abstract: A system and method for automatically controlling the quantitative delivery of, and then recording the occurrence of the administration of medicines to animals is disclosed and claimed. An intelligent syringe receives and automatically implements an instruction relating to a preferred quantity of medicine to be delivered to a specific animal, based on the measured weight of the animal. Upon actuation of the intelligent syringe, a first signal containing information relating to the actuation of the intelligent syringe, and the resulting injection of the animal is transmitted to a data repository. An EID is attached to the animal to provide a tamper-resistant electronic identification of the animal, and a receiver is utilized for receiving the first signal from the intelligent syringe and the electronic identification of the animal. Thereafter, a computer database maintains the information contained in the first signal for selective access and analysis.

Abstract: A tamper-proof electronic animal identification tag comprising an antenna card carrying an antenna and a stud carrying a data transmission chip is disclosed. The stud is unidirectionally flexible, and can only be inserted into the antenna card one time and in one direction. Insertion of the stud into the antenna card creates an electrical contact between the data transmission chip and the antenna, extending the communicative range of the data transmission chip.
