Given the opportunity and time this is a very good thing to do on a farm system as it helps farm owners identify and track animals and livestock easily.
With the current situation such as backyard cattle raising I believe this is not appropriate to do at this time as it involves investment on the actual tool in implementing. At the moment this is only applicable for large scale cattle raising.
LIVESTOCK IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
Animal ID system, and from farm to fork products world-wide tracking is a system which must be implemented.
Today, animal identification and tracking system for animal health and food security are very important tools in the management. In many countries, domestic animals and animal products to ensure follow the implementation of these legal procedures is required.
Traceability system for each different type of animals or a homogeneous group of animals in their movements by making identification of the tracks, to detect precursors and that the correct information to be recorded with the appropriate receiver is connected.
Disease prevention and control of animal products, food security and export certificates and principles related to the impact of activities to increase the World Animal Health Organization member countries and the state of animal identification and traceability system implemented in that direction is helping. Traceability for the first time in 1998 at Argentina-Buenos Aires the international "From the farm to the fork of the Permanent Animal Identification and Traceability Systems" meeting has been presented by OIE
Why national or regional animal traceability systems?
First, manufacturers and facilities to manage more effectively in animals are helping, cattle/sheep animals or animal health programs, or applications of genetic improvement programs provide.
In response to outbreaks or illness in the context of prevention, traceability in the region to countries that emerged to prevent the spread of disease, monitoring, early detection of outbreaks and notification, faster response, animal movement control and documentation or help on how to partition.
OIE and International Food Standards set by the Commission according to the standards and animal production throughout the food chain-from farm to fork-tracked to ensure origin of live animals and animal identification and tracking system with traces of animal products between has an important place.
Various factors, national or regional animal identification and traceability system may affect the structure. In this sense, factors as the country's animal and public health status, changing the population of animals (sex and reproduction, number and geographical distribution, etc.), production type of animal activity areas, appropriate technology and costs, animals and animal products trade organization shape up must take into account. The system developed, the cultural perspective as well as cost / benefit analysis and other economic, geographical and environmental conditions also must not be neglected.
Production and gene transfer in animal cloning with animals (Transgenic) animals, such as new technologies being created in the future regulations may require additional animal tracking. Authorities in certain situations, and this in itself is an animal all animals were obtained from the newly developed methods to track every product will have. New technologies will also offer new solutions. For example, DNA identification in the retail level for the creation of animal identification and monitoring system would allow. However, advanced technology or with a method is simple on paper, the "Land of the animals living in the Health Code" is defined as the universal principles and traces can be applied in all cases.
Food chain to be assessed even Traceability system, control of diseases in animals and is a tool for food safety and animal as our starting point for a product from the farm track provides. Traceability systems, animal health, food safety and food origin, extending the organoleptic (sensory) creates a link between properties.
And other domestic animals used to determine the identity of the ear tag is made of plastic material.
The animal identification numbers that belong to seal the ear usually does. This identification number (ID) only to be determined by national organizations with specific, usually in the form of Property Identification Code will be found. National Live Animal Identification System (NLIS) regulations in all the areas of bovine animals before being removed from the ear marked with the seal or a rumen bolus and requires this action to be notified of NLIS'ye. Besides, if animals in the herd or farm is labeled, in the wider region does not have identification numbers only. Seal of the ear tags also NLIS for cattle and sheep running conditions. This seals and monitoring rumen and are used for identification bolus identity and supplied by the vendor with the transport document is complete.
Livestock identification system with the ear tag yet to be discovered in 1913, despite tuberculosis test in the UK BSE epidemic is visible with the emergence of an increase was recorded. Today, in many different ways, designed to provide ear tagsl, to prevent theft and to get to the epidemic under control is widely used all over the world.
In 1953, the first two parts, the plastic ear seal itself invented by the patent has been received. Options and visibility of the color of plastic with easy-to-use features metal extension application in the process of this seal also reduces the risk of infected blood through.
Some insect control bovine animals to ensure that seals the ear contains chemical substances.
How should Ear Tag be Applied? In implementing a successful ear tag of the principles are the same for cattle and milk cows. To correctly apply the ear tag of the animals should be avoided piercingg ear again.
Best time of using for ear tag begins to show the features of beef and milk is taken from the period.
Ear Tag to the use of time to the maximum level of use of the ear tag you should read the user manual carefully. After a time, ear tags can not be reused.
Ear tag or stud cattle breeding period to ear a time before being sealed need. If the cattle is tagged, do not remove the ear tag or not installing a second ear tag.
You must use the correct applicator. If an incorrect applicator is used, the ear tag into the ear remains in danger of seal can be crushed.
Application for selecting animals to be the most peaceful moment and must be clean applicator.
