For the bovine sector, the identifiers consist of an electronic RFID tag and a visual panel (dangle) tag with bar codes recognized by the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA). These identifiers have a 15-digit ISO number, a unique number that will follow the animal for its entire life.  Since March 2011, Ultraflex is the new bovine tag with increased retention characteristics.

The new Ultraflex Tag

• The plastic has been modified, which increases the identifier’s durability and provides better resistance to drastic temperature changes (summer/winter).
• The rounded shape of the backside part fits the animal’s ear better, which reduces the space between the two, minimizing the risks to remain caught to chains, feeders, bale ropes, etc. Thus, avoiding chances of ripping the ear or damaging the identifier.

New Marking Options

• The full official number (9 digits) is still on the tag above the line.

Applying the tags for optimal results 

• Each tag must be applied between the veins of the ear.
• Use the red plier and the green tag applicator.
• Before each tagging, disinfect the end of the plier, the tag and the ear, with an alcohol free product.
