How to perform a group import from your Stick Reader to app:

  1. Connect your stick reader.

  2. Go to 'Equipment' on the bottom bar, then into 'EID Readers'

  3. If you have connected your stick before, tap 'Pair' next to it under 'My EID Readers'. If not, click 'Add Device', then select the icon depending on the stick reader you have (RS420 / AWR & AWL / SRS & XRS).

  4. Once the stick is paired press 'Get Groups', will take a couple seconds for the groups to appear (if it doesn't seem to work, turn the stick reader off then on and try again).

  5. Select the group you wish to import, then when the tick shows on that group, click 'import' on the top right.

  6. Select the species for the group of ID numbers (Sheep or Cattle).

  7. Select an existing group you want to add these animals to, or create a new group to add them to.

  8. If importing them to a new group, type in the name for your new imported group and save - Success!

  9. Your group will show in the appropriate species quick filter (Sheep or Cattle) on Groups


If you have problems importing groups for the first time, please follow these steps:

  1. Connect the stick reader with iLivestock

  2. Force close the iLivestock and restart it, leaving it for about 1 min

  3. Switch off the stick reader and switch it back on again

  4. Re-perform the Group Import
