Product Overview

The Cattle Ear Tag Applicator Kit is a practical livestock identification tool set designed for efficient installation of compatible visual and electronic cattle ear tags. The kit can combine an ergonomic applicator, replaceable applicator pins, tag inserts and other accessories according to the selected identification system.

A low-force handle mechanism helps reduce operator fatigue during repetitive tagging work, while controlled pin alignment supports accurate positioning of two-piece livestock identification tags. Compatible configurations can be used with visual ID tags, RFID / EID ear tags and selected livestock monitoring tags.

The kit is suitable for commercial dairy farms, beef operations, feedlots, breeding centers, livestock markets and cattle farm construction projects requiring reliable animal identification equipment.

Working Principle

The male ear tag component is placed on the applicator pin and the female component is secured in the opposite jaw. The applicator maintains alignment between both components while the operator positions the tool at the required location on the animal's ear.

When the handles are squeezed, the applicator pin guides the male stud through the ear and into the locking section of the female tag. After the components lock together, the applicator opens and can be removed from the ear.

Different visual and electronic tag designs may require specific pins or inserts. Tag and applicator compatibility should therefore be confirmed before operation.
