Buckle type chicken foot ring

The snap on chicken footring is a tool used for marking and identifying chickens. The following is its related introduction:

Structure and Material

Structure: Usually composed of a circular body and a buckle device. The circular body is used to wrap around the feet of the chicken, while the buckle device is used to secure the foot ring and ensure that it will not easily fall off. Some ankle rings may also have identification areas such as numbers and QR codes, which facilitate individual identification of chickens by farmers.

Material: Generally made of materials such as plastic or rubber. Plastic foot rings have the advantages of being hard in texture, not easily deformed, waterproof (based on actual reports), moisture-proof (based on actual reports), and low in cost; Rubber foot rings are relatively soft, have good elasticity and comfort, cause less damage to chicken feet, and are not easily broken, but the price may be relatively high.

Characteristics and advantages

Easy to wear and disassemble: The snap on design makes the wearing process of the foot ring simple and fast. Simply wrap the foot ring around the chicken's feet and fix it with a snap. When it is necessary to replace the foot ring or perform special treatment on the chicken, it can also be easily disassembled without causing excessive stress to the chicken.

Clear identification: Clear identification information such as chicken breed, date of birth, batch, and breeder information can be printed or engraved on the foot ring. This helps farmers to carry out better management of their chicken flocks, facilitate the tracing and querying of relevant information about chickens, and is of great significance for actual disease prevention and control, production records, and sales management.

Not easy to fall off: The design of the buckle can provide excellent fixing force, confirming that the foot ring will not easily fall off during the chicken's daily activities. At the same time, the size and material selection of the foot ring will also take into account the growth and activity characteristics of the chicken feet, which can not only protect the comfort of wearing, but also prevent the foot ring from loosening due to the growth or activity of the chicken feet.

Low cost: Compared to some other types of identification tools such as electronic tags, the cost of snap on chicken leg rings is relatively low and suitable for large-scale breeding. Farmers can choose different specifications and prices of foot rings according to their own needs to meet the actual needs of aquaculture production.

Usage

Choose the appropriate foot ring: Based on the breed, age, and foot size of the chicken, choose the appropriate size of snap on foot ring. Generally speaking, chicks need to use smaller foot rings, which can be replaced with larger ones as the chicken grows.

Wearing a foot ring: Gently grasp the chicken and straighten its feet. Then place the circular body of the foot ring over the chicken's feet and confirm that the identification surface of the foot ring is facing outward. Next, tighten the buckle device to secure the foot ring onto the chicken's feet. Be careful not to tighten it too tightly to avoid affecting the blood circulation of chicken feet.

Record information: After wearing the ankle bracelet, promptly record the relevant information of the chicken, such as the bracelet number, breed, date of birth, breeding batch, etc. Special record forms or spreadsheets can be used for recording, for future reference and management.

precautions

Regular inspection: During the chicken breeding process, it is necessary to regularly check the wearing condition of the foot ring, check whether the buckle is loose, and whether the foot ring is damaged or worn. If there is a problem, the foot ring should be replaced in a timely manner to protect the effectiveness of the identification.

Avoid damaging chicken feet: When wearing ankle rings, be careful to operate gently to avoid damaging chicken feet due to excessive force or tight ankle rings. At the same time, it is important to choose foot rings with good quality and smooth edges to reduce friction and irritation on chicken feet.

Prevent accidental ingestion: If the foot ring is damaged or falls off, it should be cleaned in a timely manner to avoid chickens accidentally ingesting fragments of the foot ring, which can cause damage to the digestive system.

The snap on chicken footring is a simple and practical tool for identifying chicken flocks, which can provide convenient management methods for farmers and help improve breeding efficiency and management level.
