Product Overview

The Custom RFID Cattle Ear Tags provide reliable electronic identification for dairy cattle, beef cattle and other livestock management applications. Each tag combines an embedded RFID transponder with a durable ear-tag housing, enabling individual animals to be identified electronically with a compatible handheld or fixed reader.

Electronic identification can be matched with visible serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes or customized markings, allowing farms to maintain both digital and visual animal records. Tag frequency, chip type, color, coding format and printing can be configured according to livestock management and traceability requirements.

The tags are suitable for commercial dairy farms, beef operations, breeding centers, feedlots, livestock markets and integrated farm projects requiring dependable animal identification and digital herd records.

Key Features
  • Individual Electronic Identification: Each RFID tag provides a unique electronic identity for livestock tracking and herd records.
  • Custom RFID Configuration: LF, UHF and selected chip options can be supplied according to project requirements.
  • Visual and Electronic ID: Electronic encoding can be matched with visible numbering for convenient cross-checking.
  • Durable TPU Housing: Flexible livestock-grade polymer construction is suitable for demanding farm environments.
  • Secure Locking Structure: Male and female tag components provide permanent livestock ear attachment.
  • Reader Compatibility: Compatible configurations are available for handheld readers, fixed readers and automated livestock identification stations.
  • Custom Marking: Serial numbers, farm codes, barcodes, QR codes and other markings are available upon request.
  • Multiple Color Options: Different colors can support herd grouping, farm management or distributor requirements.
  • Pre-Encoding Service: Electronic ID sequences can be programmed before shipment according to project requirements.
  • OEM / ODM Supply: Tag design, marking, packaging and system configuration can be customized for international distributors and agricultural projects.

Working Principle

The RFID ear tag contains an electronic transponder that stores an individual identification number. When the animal passes within the operating range of a compatible RFID reader, radio-frequency energy activates the passive tag and the electronic ID is transmitted back to the reader.

The reader transfers the identification number to livestock management software, where it can be associated with records such as breed, age, weight, reproduction, vaccination, treatment, feeding or animal movement.

Reading distance and performance depend on the RFID technology, reader output, antenna arrangement, tag orientation and surrounding farm environment.
