Product Overview	The Mini EID Sheep Ear Tag is a compact electronic identification solution developed for goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep, lambs, goats and other compatible livestock. Its lightweight design makes it particularly suitable for young animals where a smaller ear tag can reduce unnecessary weight while maintaining reliable electronic identification. The tag incorporates an FDX-B RFID transponder operating at 134.2 kHz and is designed to work with livestock identification equipment compliant with ISO 11784 and ISO 11785. It can support electronic flock records, animal traceability, automated weighing, sorting and other digital livestock management applications.
Key Features	Miniature and lightweight construction suitable for sheep, lambs and young goats. FDX-B electronic identification technology operating at 134.2 kHz. Designed according to ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 livestock RFID identification standards. ICAR-compliant configurations are available for professional livestock identification programs. Unique electronic identification number supports individual animal tracking and database management. Compatible with suitable handheld readers, fixed RFID readers, electronic scales and livestock management systems. Flexible livestock-grade plastic construction is designed for long-term farm use. Secure locking structure helps prevent unintended tag reuse after application. Laser marking options provide durable visual identification alongside electronic identification. Multiple colors and male tag configurations are available according to project requirements.
Structural Components	Electronic Female Tag: Contains the RFID transponder used for electronic identification. Male Tag Part: Passes through the ear and locks into the electronic female component. FDX-B Transponder: Stores the unique electronic identification code read by compatible RFID equipment. Locking Mechanism: Provides secure attachment after installation. Flexible Plastic Housing: Protects the transponder from normal environmental exposure and livestock activity. Visual Marking Area: Can carry numbers, letters or farm management information according to configuration. Applicator Interface: Designed for installation using a compatible livestock ear tag applicator.
Working Principle	Each ear tag contains a passive electronic transponder with a unique identification code. When a compatible RFID reader is brought within reading range, the reader generates an electromagnetic field that energizes the transponder. The tag then transmits its stored identification number back to the reader. The electronic number can be linked with animal records such as flock number, birth information, breeding history, weight, treatment records and movement data in compatible livestock management software. Because the tag is passive, no internal battery is required for normal identification operation.

Applications	Commercial sheep and goat farms Newborn lamb and kid identification Individual flock traceability programs Electronic weighing and performance recording Automatic livestock sorting and drafting systems Breeding and pedigree management Animal movement and production record management Veterinary and livestock research projects Integrated EID livestock handling systems Agricultural project and livestock equipment packages
Customization Options	Tag color, visual numbering, sequential identification, laser marking, male tag size, packaging quantity and database-compatible numbering arrangements can be customized according to project requirements. Electronic coding and regulatory identification formats should be specified according to local livestock identification requirements. Matching visual tags, RFID readers, electronic scales and farm data-management equipment are available upon request.
Installation & Maintenance	Load the matching male and electronic female components into the compatible ear tag applicator. Restrain the animal safely and select a clean application position between the main cartilage structures of the ear while avoiding major blood vessels. Apply the tag with one firm, controlled action and confirm that the male component is completely locked into the electronic tag. Check the electronic identification number with a compatible RFID reader after application when required. Keep the applicator clean and inspect the pin and alignment components regularly. Ear tags normally require no electronic maintenance because the embedded RFID transponder is passive.
Project Cases	Mini EID sheep ear tags can be supplied as part of integrated livestock identification and handling projects. Electronic tags can be combined with handheld RFID readers, fixed race readers, electronic weighing scales, automatic drafting gates and flock management software to create a digital animal identification workflow. For large commercial farms, tags can be prepared in sequential batches and coordinated with farm identification records according to project requirements.
Product FAQ	Q: Why choose a mini EID tag for sheep? A: A smaller and lighter tag is particularly useful for lambs and other small livestock while still providing electronic individual identification. Q: What RFID technology does the tag use? A: The reference configuration uses FDX-B technology at 134.2 kHz and is designed according to ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 standards. Q: Does the tag require a battery? A: No. The tag uses passive RFID technology and receives the energy required for communication from the RFID reader. Q: Can it work with electronic weighing equipment? A: Yes. Compatible ISO-standard readers can transfer animal identification data to electronic scales and other livestock management equipment according to the system configuration. Q: Can the tags be customized with visual numbers? A: Yes. Sequential numbering, laser marking and other visual identification options are available according to project requirements. Q: Is the tag suitable for official livestock identification? A: Compliance requirements vary by country. Tag coding, approval status and numbering format should be selected according to applicable local livestock identification regulations. Q: Can SHEWUYOU supply readers and weighing equipment with the tags? A: Yes. Compatible RFID readers, electronic livestock scales, sorting equipment and other identification system components are available upon request.
