Korvatagit

Korvatagit is a Finnish term often translated as "ear tags" or "ear labels" and it refers to a practice related to animal identification, particularly in the context of livestock management. These tags are typically small devices attached to the ear of an animal, such as cattle, sheep, or pigs, to permanently mark them for identification purposes. The primary function of korvatagit is to facilitate record-keeping, tracking, and management of individual animals within a herd or flock. This includes monitoring health, breeding, and ownership. The tags are usually made of durable plastic or metal and can be imprinted with unique numbers, barcodes, or other identifying information. The application of korvatagit is a standard procedure in modern agriculture and is often mandated by regulatory bodies to ensure traceability and disease control. Different types of tags exist, including visual tags that are easily seen and read, and electronic identification (EID) tags that contain microchips storing more extensive data and can be read wirelessly. The selection and use of korvatagit are crucial for efficient farm management and for meeting the requirements of various agricultural systems.
