The battery and printed circuit board components. This solution results in a higher thickness of the ear tag, which is several times that of traditional polyurethane visual ear tags. Thicker ear tags also mean that the ear tag is more likely to fall off. At the same time, traditional active ear tags use hard shells and cannot be bent under external forces, causing internal devices or cattle ears to be squeezed and pulled, increasing the damage rate of internal components, and because traditional active ear tags are thicker, they need to reduce their length and width to reduce their volume and reduce the rate of tag drop. This results in insufficient visible area of ​​the ear tag, and it is difficult for farm managers to see the ear tag number printed on the outer surface of the ear tag from a distance.
