1. Beneficial for safety production
Sheep ear tags can manage the ear number of each sheep along with its breed, source, production performance, immune status, health status, owner, and slaughter date. Once an epidemic or livestock product quality issue occurs, its source can be traced, responsibilities can be clarified, and loopholes can be plugged.
At the same time, sheep ear tags are used to identify and manage a large number of livestock in various aspects. Enterprises can use RFID sheep ear tags to timely detect hidden dangers, track livestock information, and take corresponding control measures for problems that arise, ensuring safe production. At the same time, RFID readers can be used to achieve information management of material management, immunization management, disease management, death management, weighing management, medication management, and slaughter records in the livestock breeding process.
2. Beneficial for controlling animal diseases
Not all sheep are suitable for vaccination every time, such as sick sheep, newly bred ewes, and pregnant ewes. If there is no label, it needs to be processed in separate columns. If there is a label, it only needs to be checked in the record form. When it is appropriate, the ear tag scanning device can read the ear tag information, check the specific vaccine to be administered, and make up for it to avoid missed vaccinations.
3. Beneficial for rapid management of sheep breeding
Many breeders keep their rams in separate pens and only bring them over to mate with estrus ewes during breeding. Not only can it improve the utilization rate of rams, but it can also better record the mating and production dates of ewes, thereby increasing the reproductive rate of ewes and the survival rate of lambs. In addition, the mating date of the ewe can also be recorded.
4. Convenient to track the mating and production dates of each sheep
For breeding ewe farms and self breeding sheep farms, recording mating and production dates is particularly crucial. Usually, mated ewes are managed in the same pen, while pregnant ewes are managed in the mother and baby pen. Only with breeding and production dates can each sheep be prepared in advance. In addition, recording the lambing rate and survival rate of ewes is beneficial for selecting ewes.
5. Convenient for deworming and avoiding unnecessary losses
Sheep that are less than one month pregnant and within one month before delivery are not suitable for deworming medication, which may cause stress and lead to miscarriage, especially when using albendazole deworming drugs. Marking and column management are very suitable for deworming and immunization in large-scale breeding, while for small-scale free range sheep, marking and adding deworming at the appropriate time is sufficient.
6. Clear paternal and maternal lineages to avoid inbreeding
Some sheep farms have the problem of inbreeding. If lambs born from the same ram have a special letter, such as "ID card" starting with R, can we avoid inbreeding? The advantage of recording is that the paternal and maternal parents of each sheep are clearer, making it easier to select breeding sheep.
