Swine Ear Tags

Tags in pigs' ears are identification tools made of plastic or metal, sometimes with electronic components (RFID). They are used to provide each pig with a unique identifier to track individual animals for various management purposes.

Pig ear tags mainly come in two types: electronic ear tags and regular plastic ear tags. Electronic ear tags can be scanned and read using RFID technology, while regular plastic ear tags require manual recording.

Pigs have tags to enable farmers to identify and manage them individually. This is important for health monitoring, breeding management, and regulatory compliance. Tags help in keeping accurate records and facilitate efficient farm operations.

To remove a tag from a pig's ear, use a pair of sharp scissors or an ear tag removal tool designed for this purpose. Carefully cut the tag off, ensuring not to injure the pig. It’s recommended to do this gently and, if possible, have an assistant to help hold the pig steady.

Consider their durability, readability, and comfort when choosing pig ear tags. Electronic ear tags are suitable for farms requiring efficient management and tracking, while regular ear tags are suitable for smaller farms.

Piglets are usually tagged within the first few days to weeks of life. It’s important to tag them early to ensure proper identification and tracking from an early age. The exact timing can vary depending on farm practices and the specific tagging system used.

Regular plastic ear tags can typically be used for several years but may need replacement due to wear or loss. Electronic ear tags have a longer lifespan, generally up to 10 years or more.
