![]() The requirement to ear mark (ear notch) livestock varies around Australia. Keep the applicators clean and dip in disinfectant between each animal (when in use).Keep ear tag applicators in good working order.When applying NLIS devices producers need to: NLIS devices are available from NLIS state authorities. NLIS devices include the Property Identification Code (PIC) or the brand in Western Australia. NLIS devices for sheep and goats can either be a visual ear tag or an RFID ear tag. NLIS devices for cattle can be either an ear tag or a rumen bolus/visual ear tag combination. The NLIS is Australia's system for the identification and tracing of cattle, sheep and goats for biosecurity, food safety, product integrity and market access purposes. It also has business benefits by enabling livestock to be identified on-farm, leading to improved management. Got a question not on the list above- just contact us by e-mail or toll free at 87.Ear tagging and ear marking are used to identify livestock.Įar tagging is an essential part of the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) and ear marking or notching is a mandatory requirement in some states. Blank tags and other products do not have a minimum requirement. Once the minimum of 25 tags is met, they do not need to be ordered in multiples of 25. We do require a minimum of 25 tags for custom printing. And depending on the environment, the ink may not fade for much longer period of time- but we know for sure we can stand behind the four year guarantee.Ī. Our special ink uses an inkjet process and it will penetrate into the tag giving you nice bold print that will last. We will guarantee our print not to fade for two years. How long will the custom printing hold up?Ī. The key is to make sure you are using one of these special marking pens and also to go over the print area at least 3-4 times. ![]() The ink is acid-based and penetrates directly into the tag material (you can actually see this if you hold the tag up to light or cut the tag through the ink coverage). Our marking pens will truly last a very long time when applied correctly. so this special stud greatly reduces torn ears and lost tags.Ī. Most snags occur at the back of the ear when the animal has their head in fence, bale wire, brush, etc. In a worst-case scenario maybe one petal might break off- but the rest of the stud will remain intact. The Daisy stud has a petal-like design (thus the name Daisy) and these petals will flex and bend to pull away from the snag. How does the Daisy stud prevent snagging?Ī. Our rule of thumb is to always make the numbers as large as we can, but feel free to call or e-mail us with any special instructions. Likewise having a line of text on the top or bottom will reduce the size of the numbers. If on the other hand you need four digits such as 1000-1100, the numbers will have to be a little smaller. As an example, if you use a medium size tag with numbers 1-99, we will make the digits as large as we can to fill the whole tag. ![]() The size of the digit or letters corresponds to the size of the tag, how many digits you use and if you added text to the top or bottom line. How big will my numbers or text be on the tag?Ī. Chances that another manufactures' pin would have this grove in the right place is pretty slim. There is a small "grove" on the pin where our studs will actually "seat" so that you have the right alignment and the stud does not come off the pin prematurely. And as you know having that stud line up properly is very important. Can I just make my pins fit the Perma-Flex Daisy stud or regular stud?Ī. Just order a set of replacement pins and give it a try -but make sure you can unscrew the pins in your applicator first. However, if you have an applicator that you can unscrew the pins and replace them with our pins, your existing tagger may work. We recommend using our applicators and cannot guarantee retention if you are not. Do I need a new applicator to use Perma-Flex tags and studs?Ī. ![]()
