Needless to say, the numbering management of pig farms is to better record the growth of pigs and distinguish the growth of different pigs by numbering. Regarding numbering, ear notch pliers are the most used in pig farm management numbers. Let's talk about how to use ear notch pliers.

Ear Notch

The numbering method of ear notch pliers is simply the ear clipping method. Use ear tag pliers to make a notch on the edge of the left or right ear of the livestock. Each ear notch represents a number. Add all the numbers on the two ears to get the desired number.


Here, take pig numbering as an example: in breeding farms or pure breeding farms, in order to select reserve sows and for breeding and scientific research needs, piglets must be numbered when they are born. The commonly used numbering method is ear notch clipping, that is, on the ears of piglets, use ear notch pliers to cut several notches. Each notch represents a certain number, and the sum of the notches is the number of this pig.


Before notching the pigs' ears, you need to note that each ear number in a pig farm is unique. You must be clear about the number before notching the ears. After cutting the ear notch, you must disinfect it with iodine to prevent wound infection.
