Embodiment Construction

[0059] The present invention enables rapid and efficient removal of an organic sample from an animal for its subsequent analysis. The analysis can be a DNA test used to provide a unique identification for the animal, such as in a registration database. However, alternatively or additionally, the analysis may be used to detect disease or for other desired purposes.

[0060]To facilitate sampling, the present invention may use ear tag sampling forceps of a known type, with any suitable modification.

[0061] One such sampling forceps are the well known Zee Tags TM Sampling forceps, which are described in New Zealand Patent Specification No. 335702, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The forceps are commonly used to apply two pieces of markers into the ears of animals. The pliers have two arms that are pivotally connected together so that a male marker is located on the pliers pin, the male marker being adapted to be inserted into the animal's e...

Abstract

The present invention provides a sampling means for obtaining an organic sample (85) from an animal. The sampling means includes a punch means (18) adapted to be securable in use with a first part (70) of an applicator (100). A housing means (8) is adapted in use to be accommodated, or provided, by a second part (2) of the applicator (100). Operation of the applicator (100) in use being adapted to move said punch means (18) through a required part (80) of an animal to extract a sample (85) thereof. The punch means (18) being receivable within said housing means (8) to enable said housing means (8), with said punch means (18) and said sample (85), to be removable from said second part (2) of said applicator (100), and wherein the sampling means is not associated with an animal tag.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improvements in sampling devices, in particular, but not exclusively, to sampling devices for obtaining an organic sample from an animal for analysis thereof and for the purpose of uniquely identifying the animal. Background technique [0002] In New Zealand and elsewhere, various databases have been established which require a unique identification for each registered animal. Although various identifiable features are available, one of the preferred options is to provide an organic sample in a specific tissue for DNA testing. [0003] To date, various schemes have been proposed in order to remove an organic sample from an animal, which is then retained with an ear tag attached to the animal, or the animal is tagged simultaneously with the sampling operation, whereas The sampling container is removable from the marker, as disclosed in US Patent N° 6,509,187. [0004] However, it has been found that the combination of ...
