Pig, cow, and sheep with letterless epidemic prevention ear tags

Pig, cow, and sheep epidemic prevention ear tags are important tools used to identify animal identities and record relevant epidemic prevention information. There are some differences between printed and blank tags in terms of functionality and application scenarios. The following is a related introduction:

Functional Features

Typing: Typically, ear tags are printed with a number, QR code, or other specific information such as the animal's breed, place of origin, immunization status, etc. These codes can be read by scanning devices or ear tag readers, with appropriate speed and accurate acquisition of animal related information, making it convenient for breeders or epidemic prevention personnel to manage and trace. For example, in the event of an epidemic, it is possible to quickly and appropriately track the source and contact history of animals based on ear tag information, and take corresponding prevention and control measures.

Wordless: Wordless epidemic prevention ear tags do not have directly printed text or graphic information. It is mainly used in conjunction with electronic identification systems to achieve animal identification and information management. These types of ear tags usually contain electronic chips inside that can store individual information of animals, such as identification numbers, date of birth, health status, etc. By using specialized reading and writing devices to scan ear tags, relevant data can be read or written.

Application scenarios

Printed version: Suitable for farms of all sizes, especially in situations where strict animal record management, disease prevention and control, and product traceability are required. For example, in order to achieve excellent management, large breeding enterprises will wear ear tags with words on each animal to accurately grasp the growth, immunity, reproduction and other conditions of the animal. In animal trading, transportation, and slaughter processes, ear tags with lettering can also provide clear identification and information traceability, confirming the quality and safety of animal products.

Wordless ear tags: Wordless ear tags are widely used in some large-scale and modern breeding farms, which are usually equipped with excellent electronic recognition systems and information management platforms. By combining wordless ear tags with electronic devices, automated collection and management of animal information can be achieved, improving work efficiency and reducing potential errors in manual recording. In addition, in some research projects that require long-term tracking and monitoring of animals, wordless ear tags can also play an important role.

Choose Suggestions

Breeding scale and management requirements: For small-scale farms or free range households, the management requirements for animal information are relatively low. Ear tags with lettering may be sufficient to meet basic identification needs, with relatively low costs and simple operations. For large-scale breeding farms, it is necessary to carry out excellent management and information construction. The combination of wordless ear tags and electronic recognition systems is more conducive to improving management efficiency and data accuracy.

Epidemic prevention and traceability requirements: In areas with severe epidemic prevention and control situations, or in markets with high traceability requirements for animal products, ear tags with lettering will be more favored due to their intuitive information display and convenient traceability function. But if a complete electronic traceability system has been established locally, the wordless ear tags can also be well integrated into it, achieving accurate information query and traceability at a suitable speed.

Cost factor: The production cost of ear tags with lettering is relatively low and the price is relatively affordable. Due to the inclusion of electronic chips and related recognition devices, the overall cost of wordless ear tags will be higher. Breeders need to choose the appropriate ear tag type based on their own economic priorities and investment budget.
