ABSTRACT:
In a method and a system wherein an animal (10) at birth is provided with at least one electronic tag (20), comprising communicating means and an identification code, the code represents a specific location in a network-connected database (60,) being updated wirelessly (50) from the tag (20) to at least one receiver (40) connected to the position determining means and a time determining means and in connection with said network, registering time—and positioning information related to the animal (10). Additional information about the animal is provided to the database (60). The registered information is utilized for authorizing at least one of slaughtering and distributing actions for the purpose of at least one of meat production, meat product manufacturing and breeding. An electronic tagging of each piece of meat cut up at the time of slaughter is performed, each additional tag comprising communication means and a code connecting to said database (60) location, registering time—and positioning information related to the meat via said receiver. When refining the meat into packaged products a scanning and removing of the tags from the cut-up pieces of meat is performed and each packaged product is subsequently provided with a replacement tag comprising communication means and a code connecting to at least one database (60) location, registering time—and positioning information related to the meat product via the receiver.
