Ritchey Ltd Livestock Tagging Range 2015

Pig/Management Tags• Keep tags as clean as possible.• Ensure the applicator is clear of debris and is the correct

applicator for the type of ear tag being used.• Ensure that both male and female parts of the tag are sitting

correctly in the applicator.• Check the point of the male tag is in the centre of the

female by gently squeezing together.• Always place the male part of the tag in the back of the ear

and ensure that the tag is located as centrally as possible between the veins (See illustration below).

• The female part of the tag should always be on the inside of the ear.

• Make sure both parts of the tag are fully locked together before disengaging the applicator.

ImportantPlease note young livestock should be tagged allowing room for growth. Hygiene is important to avoid infections. Keep tags as clean as possible and dip the jaws of the applicator, with the tag installed, into dilute disinfectant before application.

Illustration shows recommended location of tag in the ear. For better retention apply the tag with the female on the inside of the ear.
