Combo e.Tag Located

We've located a combo tag for animals, which meets the needs of producers in large setups. Tag technology, design, and research are gaining momentum to keep pace with global needs.

This Combo e.Tag will include the electronic chip/transponder moulded within the large or XL plastic panel dangle front. This feature provides ease of on-farm identification from panels in both ears, front and back. Because 90% of cattle are managed from the front, these tags provide ease of visibility and on-farm management.
A relatively new product, this tag should be available on an optional basis in both large and XL sizes, with or without the on-farm management numbers. The proposed tags must be tested for reading capability, durability, and retention as required by CLIA, CCIA, and CFIA standards. Given the Combo e.Tag is manufactured elsewhere, a number of details must be addressed—taggers, ordering, and distribution. Therefore, it may take up to six months before they can be used within Canada on a national basis.
