Correct installation protects the animal and keeps the ear tag in place for life. Follow these practical steps before applying any tag.

Before You Start

• Disinfect the applicator and tag stud.
• Hold the animal calmly and securely.
• Load the male and female parts correctly in the applicator.
• Choose the correct area in the ear, away from major veins and thick cartilage.

Installation Steps

• Place the tag between the ear veins in the recommended area.
• Close the applicator firmly in one smooth motion.
• Check that the stud is locked and the tag rotates freely.
• Record the animal number immediately after application.

For best results, use original EVS tags and compatible applicators, and avoid tagging animals during extreme heat or stressful handling.
