Product Overview	The EID and Visual Sheep Ear Tag Set is designed for double identification of goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep and goats, combining an electronic RFID ear tag with a matching visual identification tag. The electronic component enables rapid animal recognition with compatible readers, while the visual tag provides clear, immediate identification during routine flock handling. This combination is suitable for commercial sheep farms, breeding operations, livestock markets, veterinary programs, weighing systems and integrated flock management projects. It supports individual animal traceability, digital record keeping and efficient data collection throughout breeding, health management, movement and production workflows.
Key Features	Combined electronic and visual identification provides two complementary identification methods for individual sheep. FDX-B RFID technology is available for compatibility with suitable livestock EID readers. Round electronic tag design provides a compact configuration for sheep and goat identification. Matching visual tag allows quick manual identification without requiring an electronic reader. Individual numbering can be coordinated between electronic and visual identification records. Suitable for integration with weighing crates, drafting systems, race readers and livestock management software. Lightweight tag geometry helps reduce unnecessary load on the animal's ear. Ventilated and livestock-oriented tag configurations are available to support practical ear-tag installation. Numbering, color and marking can be customized according to project requirements. Suitable for commercial flock traceability and large-scale livestock identification programs.
Structural Components	Electronic Female Tag: Contains the RFID transponder and forms the electronic identification component. Male Stud: Passes through the animal's ear and locks into the electronic tag. Visual Female Tag: Provides a clearly visible surface for individual numbering or project-specific identification. Visual Male Part: Locks the visual tag securely on the opposite ear according to the identification program. FDX-B Transponder: Stores the electronic animal identification code for contactless reading. Ventilation Structure: Available on compatible models to provide airflow around the tag installation area. Printed or Laser-Marked Area: Supports numbers, farm codes and other visual identification information. Compatible Applicator: Provides controlled alignment and installation of the ear tag components.
Working Principle	The electronic tag contains a passive RFID transponder. When a compatible reader generates an electromagnetic field near the tag, the transponder is energized and transmits its stored identification code back to the reader. This allows the individual animal to be identified without direct visual reading of the tag number. The corresponding visual tag is installed on the opposite ear or according to the farm identification protocol. Its printed number provides immediate visual confirmation and can be matched with the electronic identification record in the farm database. By combining EID and visual identification, farms can use electronic scanning for automated data collection while retaining a convenient manual identification method.
Technical Specifications	Product Type Combined electronic and visual sheep identification set Suitable Animals Sheep and goats Electronic Technology FDX-B RFID Reference Electronic Tag Size Approximately 27 mm diameter Reader Compatibility Compatible with suitable FDX-B / full-ISO livestock readers according to selected tag configuration Identification Method Electronic RFID plus visual identification Tag Material Durable livestock-grade polymer according to model Visual Marking Sequential numbering, farm code or customized identification available Tag Color Multiple colors available according to project and local identification requirements Application Method Manual installation with compatible ear tag applicator System Integration Available for integration with readers, weighing systems and livestock management software
Applications	Commercial sheep and goat farms Individual flock identification and traceability Pedigree and breeding programs Electronic weighing and performance recording Automatic drafting and sorting systems Veterinary treatment and health records Animal movement and inventory management Livestock markets and collection centers Research farms and agricultural institutions Integrated sheep handling and livestock data-management projects
Customization Options	Visual numbering, electronic identification sequence, tag color, printed farm information, packaging quantity and matching tag combinations can be customized according to project requirements. Different male tag components, visual tag shapes and identification formats are available upon request. System configuration can also be adapted to local livestock identification regulations, reader technology and farm management procedures.
Installation & Maintenance	Before installation, verify that the visual identification number corresponds with the intended electronic tag record. Load the male and female tag components into the compatible applicator according to the applicator instructions. Safely restrain the sheep and position the tag in a suitable area of the ear, avoiding major blood vessels and excessively thick tissue. Close the applicator completely to lock the tag components securely. After installation, scan the EID tag with a compatible reader and confirm that the displayed electronic code matches the farm record. Applicators should be kept clean and inspected regularly for correct alignment and smooth operation.
Project Cases	EID and visual ear tag sets can be supplied as part of complete sheep identification and handling projects. Typical systems combine electronic ear tags with handheld or fixed RFID readers, electronic weighing crates, automatic drafting gates and flock management software. For large breeding farms and livestock groups, matching identification sequences can support individual performance records, weight monitoring, treatment history and automated animal sorting throughout the production cycle.
Product FAQ	Q: Why use both an EID tag and a visual ear tag? A: The EID tag supports electronic data collection, while the visual tag provides immediate manual identification when a reader is not being used. Q: What RFID technology is available? A: FDX-B technology is available for sheep and goat identification systems according to the selected configuration. Q: Can the tags work with electronic weighing systems? A: Yes. Compatible EID tags can be integrated with RFID readers, electronic scales, weighing crates and livestock management software. Q: Can the visual number match the electronic record? A: Yes. Matching identification sequences can be prepared according to project requirements to simplify record management. Q: Can tag colors and printed information be customized? A: Yes. Color, sequential numbering, farm codes and other visual markings are available according to order requirements. Q: Are the tags suitable for goats as well as sheep? A: Yes. Suitable configurations can be used for both sheep and goats. Q: Can the set be supplied with RFID readers and applicators? A: Yes. Compatible applicators, handheld readers and other livestock identification equipment can be supplied as part of a complete project.
