Disclosed is a device for marking and identifying animals comprising a male tag with a punch passing through the animal's ear and penetrating into a hollow head (2) of a female tag (1) under the action of a clamp (not shown). The disclosure is stated to be characterized in that one of the male or female tags is provided with a means (7), lateral to label and detachable therefrom, for sampling biological material extracted from the animal's ear wall when it is pieced by the punch, said sampling means including an absorbent material (9), and in that said means (7) is linked to one of the jaws (not shown) of the clamp and the opening of the clamp jaws and/or its removal from the animal's ear separates the sampling means (7) from the tag concerned (1).
