ANIMAL TAG

摘要

A tag (1) for application to the ear of an animal includes a male portion (2) and female portion (3). The female portion (3) includes a chamber (13) within which an insert (14) is accommodated, the insert (14) engaging in an interlocking manner with the chamber (13) and allowing access of a head (9) of the male portion (2) into the chamber (13) but then acting to prevent removal of the head (9). The male and female portions (2, 3) may be connected at a central portion (4) which enables folding of the male and female portions (2, 3). In another embodiment, the central portion (4) may include a weak-link so that the male and female portions can be torn apart if the tag becomes caught on an obstruction.
