<p>An ear tag for animal identification is a one-piece plastics moulding with a female end (1) having an opening (12) and a male end (2) having a barbed spike (22), connected by a flexible link (3). It secures through an animal's ear in the conventional way, while presenting an exterior printable surface (32) to carry a visual identification code. Towards the female end (1) the link (3) includes a capsule (5) to hold an elongate transponder module (6). The insertion opening for the capsule cavity faces lengthwise of the link (3) onto the axis of the opening (12) at the female end (1), so that when the tag is locked in position the male spike (22) further blocks the cavity to ensure that the transponder module (6) cannot get out.</p> |
