Pig units run in batches and move animals between houses on a schedule, so identification has to survive biting pen mates and keep batch records straight from farrowing to the processor.
The order of these steps matters more than the hardware. Getting the frequency and the numbering settled first is what stops a project being redone.
An anti-bite two-piece tag is applied so the identity survives the finishing period.
Handheld or PDA readers capture the batch as animals move between houses.
Medication and vaccination are logged against the individual code at the time they happen.
Loading and slaughter reads tie the carcass record back to the house it came from.
It is the main failure mode, which is why the Raybaca tags use an anti-bite structure and colouring designed to make pen mates less interested in them.
With UHF tags and a reader positioned at the doorway, yes. That is the case UHF is built for, and it removes the handling that batch counting normally needs.
Requirements differ by country. Raybaca ear tags hold ICAR certification, which is what most official identification programmes ask to see.
Tell us how many animals, how they are handled and what your programme or buyer requires. We will propose the tag, the applicator and the reader that fit.
