In recent years, there are many food quality problems have happened. And they have had a serious effect on people's physical and mental health. The quality tracing of livestock products have arrested the intensively attention of the society of different parts. In NingXia, which is as the main living place of Hui National people, the industry of Halal beef and mutton is one of the leading industries for the development of local agriculture. Based on the requirement of agricultural informatization of NingXia and other similar regions in the West of China, according to the HACCP and GMP management concept, we have developed a feasible system to trace the Halal Beef quality during the whole production process. Details are as follows: realizing the information collection about beef farming process, and establishing the quality information database of the Halal beef products, and integrating the application of the RFID, EAN/UCC-128 barcode, Pdf417 2-D barcode, GSM technology and Internet technology at the same time. The system makes it possible that the customer can trace the whole production process of the beef through SMS, Telephone, Internet, and scanning the barcode with smart phones or others means after shopping the beef. And the system realizes the whole quality tracing and Muslim tracing of the beef during the process of the farming, slaughtering and logistics. So the design and realization of the system are important technical basis of Islamic meat quality and safety for NingXia and other similar regions in the West of China. © 2011 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
