[0002] Cow clamping usually refers to the act of using a device called "cow flail" (also called cow neck clamp) to restrain and manage cows during dairy farming. The cow flail is a necessary tool for large-scale management of dairy cows. It is mainly used to fix dairy cows to ensure their safety and convenience during feeding, epidemic prevention, treatment, breeding, etc.

[0003] There are many cows in large-scale breeding farms, and some cows may be missed during peak operation. When searching for un-clamped cows in the cowshed, staff need to enter the herd and scan the ear tags of the cows one by one, which is inefficient and easily causes stress to the cows. When using wireless positioning devices to search, the warning light of the neck ring is not obvious, making it inconvenient to search.

[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems in the related technology, such as the existing cattle neck rings or ear tags are not obvious, resulting in low efficiency for workers in finding cattle and low efficiency in checking whether cattle are clamped.
