Cattle Identification: A Crucial Step in Farming

Cattle identification is a key element of farming in France and Belgium, allowing for both precise health monitoring and optimal traceability of animals throughout their lives. Terwagne Ciney, an expert in cattle farming equipment, offers a comprehensive range of identification products to meet these essential needs.

The Importance of Cattle Identification

Cattle identification is not just a regulatory requirement, it plays a crucial role in animal health management and the traceability of dairy and meat products. Each animal is unique, and precise identification allows tracking of its health history, genealogy, and life journey. This traceability is not only essential for the farmer but also for consumers, veterinarians, and health authorities.

The Tagging of Calves: An Obligation from Birth

In France and Belgium, tagging calves is a mandatory step that must be performed at the animal's birth. Official federation tags, usually numbered, are placed in the calf's ears to enable its identification throughout its life. These tags contain essential information such as the animal's unique identification number, which is recorded in a national database.

Identification Tools: Solutions Tailored to Every Need

Terwagne Ciney offers a wide range of identification tools to meet all farmers' needs.

Marking Tags

Our colored marking tags, available with or without numbering, offer a quick and effective visual identification method. They are ideal for distinguishing animals within the same herd, quickly identifying animals needing special attention, or differentiating animals based on age, sex, or breed.

Tagging Pliers

To facilitate calf tagging, we offer specially designed tagging pliers for this task. They are robust, durable, and easy to use, ensuring quick and stress-free tagging for the animal. Our tagging pliers work with our marking tags as well as federation tags.

Cattle Markers

We also offer a range of Raidex cattle markers. These markers, available in spray or crayon form, provide a temporary identification method, ideal for marking animals during veterinary care, vaccination, or health checks.

Velcro Bracelets

Our colored Velcro bracelets for cattle are another practical and reusable solution for quick visual identification of animals. They can be attached to the cattle's legs and are available in a variety of colors to facilitate animal differentiation.
