The body (1) comprises a chamber (11) in which the transponder is housed. A plug (3) closes the chamber (11). The body (1) is formed from hard plastics material and is generally cylindrical with a strengthening ridge (6) parallel to the long axis. The pin (2) comprises a narrow curved backing component (15) and a shaft (16) with a hardened end for penetrating the ear of the animal.
