Visual animal ear tag, model ETS-RT 05

Visual Animal Tag (Model: ETS-RT 05)

ETS-RT 05 Animal ear tags are identification markers attached to the ears of animals, particularly in the livestock industry. These tags are used for various purposes, including individual identification, tracking, and management. Commonly used for cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and other livestock, ear tags provide a quick and visible means of identifying animals. The tag is made with high quality TPU material which is also UV resistant and is attached to the animal's ears using a tag applicator. Laser engraving is done to mark the unique ID number / QR code / barcode etc and is guaranteed to last for the lifespan of the animal.

The tag is tamper-evident (cannot be removed) and available in 3 different sizes and colours depending on the requirement of the project.

LF animal ear tag, model ETS-RT 05 LF

LF Animal Tag (Model: ETS-RT 05 LF)

ETS-RT 05 LF is a specially designed tag made with high quality TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) material used for management of livestock and animal identification. It is fully compliant with international standard ISO 11784/11785. It is highly rugged and suitable for outdoor environment conditions and has a maximum read range of 30cm. This tag provides unparalleled performance on application to ears of the animal. It is widely used in dairy farms, slaughter houses, animal insurance companies, semen collection houses etc. The tag can also be printed and encoded as per the requirement of the project. The tag is attached to the animal ears using an applicator. The tag consists of 2 parts – male and female – and is fully suitable for all breeds of animals including cow, pig, buffalo, sheep, goat etc.

UHF animal ear tag, model ETS-RT 05 UHF

UHF Animal Tag (Model: ETS-RT 05 UHF)

ETS-RT 05 UHF is a special purpose UHF tag that is designed for application on animal ears especially for the purpose of livestock management. It is applied to the ears of the animals by which they can be identified and tracked using long range readers and handheld terminals. Traditional methods of livestock management are becoming more and more tedious, outdated and inefficient, which creates a great demand for RFID based animal tracking systems. These tags can be used for identifying sick animals, vaccination schedules, location, food management, breeding, blood groups, health history, DOB etc.

These tags are known for their robust performance and high read range even in the harshest environmental conditions. It works on UHF (865-928 MHz) frequency and is fully compliant with ISO 18000 6C standard protocol. The tag's EPC compliance enables excellent performance in applications that demand high anti-collision rates and its IP68 rating ensures that it can withstand harsh environments. These uniquely designed tags fully meet all major requirements in terms of heat, pressure, chemical resistance and durability for the applications related to livestock tracking that includes rough handling in daily usage.

The tag is attached to the animal ears using an applicator. The tag consists of 2 parts – male and female – and is fully suitable for all breeds of animals including cow, buffalo, sheep, goat etc.

  • Features: 865 MHz – 928 MHz | EPC Gen2 ISO 18000-6C
  • Range up to 8 MT | Water resistant | Chemical proof | IP68 | Highly durable

Application Areas

  • Livestock management
  • Sheep, pig and dog tracking
  • Intelligent cow management
  • Semen collection centers
  • Breeding centers
  • Slaughter houses and dairies
  • Insurance companies

Tag Usage

  • Individual identification — in agriculture, tags uniquely identify individual animals within a herd, keeping records of health, breeding history and ownership. Researchers use them to track specific animals in behaviour, ecology and migration studies.
  • Ownership and traceability — tags are crucial for traceability in the food supply chain, tracking the origin, movement and ownership of livestock.
  • Health monitoring — tags carry information about vaccinations, medical treatments or specific health conditions, aiding veterinarians and livestock owners.
  • Population monitoring — used in wildlife research to monitor populations, migration patterns and behaviours for conservation efforts.
  • Lost and found identification — collar tags with identification information help reunite lost pets with their owners.
  • Experimental studies — used to identify individual animals in laboratory settings for research purposes.
  • Data collection — used to collect data on animal behaviour, movements and interactions for ecological and behavioural studies.
  • Population control — used in programs aimed at controlling populations of feral or invasive species.
  • Breeding programs — used to keep detailed records tracking parentage, genetic information and performance data.
