The visual range is composed of female and male ear tags, blank or printed, as well as applicators for installation. Our visual ear tags suit to all breeders of Cattle, Sheep, Goat and Swine with different choices of ear tag sizes and colors.
Products Details
High breaking resistance
ARDES ear tags, once put, offer a 99,99% retention rate, while avoiding the tearing of the ear of the animal. According to laboratories studies, the necessary strength to break up the connection between the female and male ear tag is 10% higher than the standard competition. This optimal result is the fruit of a close cooperation with the Breeding Institute and the French Ministry of Agriculture.
*More information on the realized tests. Plastic material that stands the test of time
The premium polyurethane, used to make ARDES ear tags, is selected in partnership with our suppliers, who are World leaders of chemistry. This material resists to the UV aggressions and to the hardest climatic conditions. ARDES visual ear tags keep a high level of elasticity during
the entire animal’s life cycle.
Readable marking on long term
The process control and marking equipments, numbers, bar codes, logos, on ARDES visual ear tags, guarantees a long-lasting legibility. Laboratories’ tests conclude that the marking can stay legible after more than 8 years on the animal’s ear.
Reliable identification
Fast healing
ARDES visual ear tags meet the animal health requirements.
Indeed, the healing is accelerated: by a clear and precise incision during the tagging, (thanks to a stainless steel metal tip of the male ear tag); by a limitation of the proliferation of bacteria (thanks to a free movement between the male and female parts of ear tags).
With ARDES ear tags, the risk of ovalization, enlargement of the orifice created by the perforation and the risk of infection, are almost nil.
Easily escapes to the traps
The Premium Polyurethane ensures elasticity and resistance of identification ear tags. This flexibility is superior to the standard competition. ARDES ear tags release themselves more easily from restraint systems present on breedings (feed fences, barbed-wire fences, barriers…) and from natural traps (boughs, brush, bramble bushes…)
*More information on the realized tests.
The ageing test of plastic material, NFT 51-181 standard, was realized with the Technical Center for Mechanical Industry (CETIM). It simulates the effect of climatic conditions on ear tags with several cycles humidity-heat-UV during 1000h. As a conclusion, the plastic material preserves performing physical and mechanical characteristics.
Advantages
- A record retention’s rate is guaranteed with ARDES ear tags, thanks to an innovative assembly between the clip and the male tip and according to the principle of the harpoon.
- This assembly does not require much strength to the user for the installation of the ear tag, while ensuring a strong resistance.
- ARDES has developed drastic tests protocols, as much in laboratory as in the field, in order to ensure a sustainable and reliable identification.
Advantages
The Feedlot tag, as all other ARDES visual Ear tags, ensures a very high retention rate thanks to its 4 point-tip and it’s innovative pin attesting a high resistance of breaking. This tag meets the animal health requirements: fast healing avoiding infections.
