Enduro Tags, innovative livestock identifica­tion

-

Farmers turn to our tags when seeking a better tagging system.

An efficient and appropriat­e tagging system starts with the tag quality, both in terms of materials moulding, design and ease of applicatio­n.

It can be hard work tagging livestock and you want the applicator and ease of applicatio­n to work for you. As well, one can only put up with tag losses for so long.

A tag lost means lost ID and another job putting a tag in when putting them up the race.

Whilst our double prong tag system provides excellent retention and visibility, it doesn’t suit everyone.

Button tags have been with us for many decades. Like all technology, great innovative design can provide great alternativ­es and benefits over existing technology.

John Steinfort at Enduro Tags has been designing a new range of single prong tags based on a very unique design.

He says “We proved our technology in providing over 10,000 of our special goat tags to a local Gippsland dairy goat herd, reducing their tag loss from 30% to 0.5% per annum, with no infected ears. That’s a very significan­t outcome.”

“Our new emerging technology is different. It’s not another “button” type tag.

We utilise our field proven plastics, that provides a hard back tag without any catch points.

Now that’s hard to believe I know. See how it work with our testing station at Farmworld.”

We are adapting this tag technology now for all livestock types and will be launching these products over 2024.

We are excited about the potential of this technology and the benefits it can bring to many livestock producers.

“And best of all, these Clip Tags are easier to apply through the ear in comparison to button tags.

Making it a sure winner for livestock, producers and Enduro Tags and the local economy”
