Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal husbandry and veterinary equipment, in particular to an ear tag pliers for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine. Background Art

[0002] An ear tag is a livestock management tool that can be used to identify and track livestock information, such as breed, gender, age, vaccination information, etc. An ear tag consists of two components: an ear tag and an ear tag pin. Installing ear tags can help livestock veterinarians track the health of livestock, manage vaccination programs, monitor livestock production and health, and track livestock illness and treatment records. Livestock veterinarians usually use ear tag clamps to fix ear tags on livestock ears.

[0003] In actual operation, livestock farms usually adopt manual pressing marking method to mark livestock. The thickness of the ears of different types of livestock and livestock of different age groups is different. If the ears are thicker, the force is insufficient and it is difficult to penetrate the livestock's ears, which increases the pain of the livestock. If the ears are thinner, the force is too great and it is easy to cause damage to the livestock's ears. Manual pressing marking is not convenient to adjust the penetration force according to the thickness of the livestock's ears, especially for newcomers. It is difficult to control the pressing force, which is easy to cause damage to the livestock, increasing the livestock's pain and stress response. Overall, the applicability and effectiveness of the current pressing marking method in complex environments still need to be further optimized. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the invention is to provide an ear tag pliers for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, which has the effect of adjusting the penetration force according to the thickness of the livestock's ears, reducing the pain of the livestock and weakening the stress response of the livestock.
