Animal marking control system and method

A method for marking an animal comprising:

• causing, by a processing circuitry, activation of a transceiver at a first operation mode of a plurality of operation modes, wherein:
• (a) the transceiver is communicatively coupled to a remote base station, (b) each of the operation modes defining a respective frequency of communication of the transceiver with the remote base station, and (c) in the first operation mode the transceiver communicates with the remote base station in a first frequency of communication;
• receiving, by the processing circuitry, an indication of a marking need from the remote base station;
• upon receipt of the indication of a marking need, causing, by the processing circuitry, activation of the transceiver at a second operation mode of the operation modes, wherein in the second operation mode the transceiver communicates with the remote base station in a second frequency of communication;
• receiving, by the processing circuitry, marker unit activation instructions;
• and
• upon receipt of the marker unit activation instructions, activating, by the processing circuitry, a marker unit configured to selectively mark the animal.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code, executable by a processing circuitry to perform a method for marking an animal, the method comprising:

• causing, by the processing circuitry, activation of a transceiver at a first operation mode of a plurality of operation modes, wherein:
• (a) the transceiver is communicatively coupled to a remote base station, (b) each of the operation modes defining a respective frequency of communication of the transceiver with the remote base station, and (c) in the first operation mode the transceiver communicates with the remote base station in a first frequency of communication;
• receiving, by the processing circuitry, an indication of a marking need from the remote base station;
• upon receipt of the indication of a marking need, causing, by the processing circuitry, activation of the transceiver at a second operation mode of the operation modes, wherein in the second operation mode the transceiver communicates with the remote base station in a second frequency of communication;
• receiving, by the processing circuitry, marker unit activation instructions;
• and
• upon receipt of the marker unit activation instructions, activating, by the processing circuitry, a marker unit configured to selectively mark the animal.
