Identify and track animals

Integrated solutions for accurate control and full traceability

We provide farmers with simple, reliable and durable identification tools, because we know that good management always starts with good identification.

Visual Identification

Datamars Livestock’s Z Tags visual identification solutions provide permanent laser marking that is UV-resistant. These advanced tags ensure maximum security in animal identification and management, delivering outstanding durability and ease of application. Available in a wide range of ear tags with various color and printing options, they are specifically designed for each animal species, optimizing shape, weight and application method to ensure maximum efficiency every time.

Electronic Identification

Our electronic tags, based on RFID technology, deliver high performance in ease of application, reliability and reading speed. In addition to ensuring full traceability, they help improve efficiency, productivity and farm profitability through electronic data management. Specifically designed to meet the different needs of each animal species, these devices consistently provide optimal results.

Tissue Sampling

Our tissue sampling ear tags enable quick and precise ear biopsies that can be easily integrated into everyday livestock handling. Laboratory analysis of these samples allows for the early detection of diseases such as BVD, while also providing essential data for genetic traceability and genomic analysis. Thanks to this advanced technology, farmers can make strategic decisions based on detailed insights into animal health and genetic potential.

Applicators

We offer a wide range of applicators, ideal for visual, electronic and tissue sampling identification tags. Our solutions are robust and easy to use, ensuring fast and accurate application in everyday farm operations. The ergonomic grip and smart applicator head design make positioning easy from any angle, providing a smooth and comfortable experience for both animals and operators, even during intensive work sessions.

Got Questions About Animal Identification?

Here’s a simple overview of how our tags and tools work, what they’re used for, and how to choose the right solution for your livestock.
How do I choose the right ear tag for my animals?
Selecting the right ear tag depends on animal species, age, ear size and management practices. Tag type, size, material and marking method all influence readability, retention and durability. Different tag designs are optimized for specific livestock types and applications. Choosing the correct tag ensures long-term identification reliability.
When should I move from visual identification to electronic identification?
Moving from visual to electronic identification is recommended when farms need greater accuracy, automation and data integration. Electronic identification eliminates manual reading and transcription errors, enabling fast and reliable data capture in daily operations. It integrates seamlessly with weighing, milking, feeding and health management systems. This transition turns identification into an active management tool rather than a simple visual marker.
Why are applicators important for correct identification?
Using the correct applicator ensures proper tag placement, animal welfare and operator safety. Well-designed applicators improve accuracy and reduce application time, especially during intensive tagging sessions. Compatibility between tags and applicators is essential for reliable retention. The right applicator contributes to consistent and efficient identification.
Do applicators require maintenance?
Applicators are designed for durability and reliable performance in everyday farm conditions. Basic maintenance, such as regular cleaning and visual inspection, helps ensure consistent operation and correct tag application. Replaceable parts are available for components subject to wear. Proper maintenance supports animal welfare, operator safety and long-term applicator performance.
Are your tags compatible with national traceability programs?
Yes. Datamars Livestock identification tags are designed to meet the requirements of national and regional traceability programs. Official electronic identification (EID) tags provide unique, permanent codes that support secure and compliant animal identification. Compatibility ensures accurate tracking throughout the animal’s life cycle. This makes integration with regulatory systems and industry programs straightforward and reliable
Can tissue sampling be done at the same time as tagging?
Yes. Tissue sampling can be performed at the same time as tag application using dedicated tissue sampling tags. The sample is collected during the normal tagging process, without adding extra handling steps for the animal. This integration saves time and reduces stress for both animals and operators. It allows identification, disease testing and genetic traceability to be completed in a single, efficient operation.
