[0002] In modern livestock husbandry, the identification and management of individual animals are crucial. As a traditional animal identification tool, ear tags are widely used to mark and track livestock. However, traditional ear tags have at least the following problems. First, since traditional ear tags usually only provide a single color, it is difficult to quickly distinguish and identify different categories and individuals in large-scale livestock management. Second, once the information on the traditional ear tag is fixed, if it needs to be updated, the entire ear tag needs to be replaced, which not only causes waste of resources but also is complicated to operate. Moreover, the applicant also noticed that a problem with traditional ear tags is that they only allow observation from a certain direction on one side of the animal's ear, which results in a large observation blind area in practical applications. The ear tag is easily blocked by the animal's body or other obstacles. Due to the above reasons, with the large-scale and modernization of livestock husbandry, traditional ear tags can no longer meet the growing demand for refined management.

[0044] The following examples are given in conjunction with the drawings to describe the present utility model in detail.

[0045] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 , a multi-color combination splicing ear tag includes a male tag 1, a female tag 10, and at least two groups of ear tag pieces 3. Each group of ear tags includes several ear tag pieces 3 with different colors; the ear tag pieces 3 can be detachably installed on the male tag 1 and the female tag 10 along the circumferences of the male tag 1 and the female tag 10; after the ear tag pieces 3 are installed on the female tag 1 and the male tag 10, the ear tag pieces 3 extend outward relative to the outer walls of the male tag 1 and the female tag 10. An ear stud 2 is provided on the male tag 1, and an ear stud fastening hole 9 is provided on the female tag 10, and one end of the ear stud 2 with a puncture part can be fixed in the ear stud fastening hole 9. When in use, the male tag 1 and the female tag 10 are respectively located on both sides of the animal's ear, and the ear stud 2 on the female tag 1 passes through the animal's ear and is fixed in the ear stud fastening hole 9 of the female tag 10.

[0046] Thus, there are a male label 1 and a female label 10 on both sides of the animal's ear respectively. The same number and the same color combination of ear tag pieces 3 can be installed circumferentially on the male label 1 and the female label 10, which is convenient for quickly identifying the information of the ear tags on the animal's ear from a distance, from both sides of the ear, and from various circumferential angles, solving the problem that the field of view is blocked and cannot be observed. Furthermore, according to the information represented by the ear tag pieces 3 of different color combinations, different categories and individuals of animals can be quickly distinguished and identified. Moreover, since the ear tag pieces 3 are detachably installed on the male label 1 and the female label 10, the ear tag pieces 3 on the male label 1 and the female label 10 can be quickly and flexibly replaced or adjusted as needed, without the need to replace the entire ear tag, which is flexible and convenient and reduces waste.

[0047] It can be understood that there are various ways to achieve the detachable installation of the ear tag piece 3 with the male label 1 and the female label 10. For example, snap connection, threaded connection, magnetic connection, plug connection, mortise and tenon connection, etc. In this embodiment, the ear tag piece 3 is installed on the male label 1 and the female label 10 in the same way. Taking the installation of the ear tag piece 3 at the upper end of the male label 1 as an example, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a chute 6 is provided on the male label 1, and a sliding part 5 is provided on the ear tag piece 3. The ear tag piece 3 is slidably installed on the chute of the male label 1 through the sliding part 5. Thus, by providing the chute 6 and the sliding part 5, the ear tag piece 3 is allowed to be slidably installed along the circumference of the male label 1, providing a flexible and convenient installation method. In addition, it should be noted that in a possible implementation, the stud 2 and the male label can be a split structure, rather than necessarily making the stud 2 and the male label 1 an integral structure as in this embodiment. In this embodiment, making the stud 2 and the male label 1 an integral structure can facilitate the processing of the male label 1 and solve the problem that the small stud 2 is easy to lose.

[0048] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the cross-sections of the chute 6 and the sliding part 5 are both T-shaped, and the structure is simple. It can be understood that the structure of the chute 6 can also be "I"-shaped, "king"-shaped, etc. In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 , the chute 6 is provided with a chute entrance and exit 7, and the chute entrance and exit 7 is a rectangular opening. The ear tag piece 3 slides into or out of the chute 6 through the chute entrance and exit 7. It can be understood that the chute entrance and exit 7 can also be circular, trapezoidal, etc. Thus, setting the chute entrance and exit 7 as a rectangular opening facilitates the insertion and removal of the ear tag piece 3, improving the convenience of the installation and replacement of the ear tag piece 3.

[0049] In addition, in this embodiment, the multi-color combined splicable ear tag further includes a limiting member 4 for circumferentially limiting the ear tag piece 3 in the chute 6. The limiting member 4 can be fixed on the male tag 1 and the female tag 10. The use of the limiting member 4 circumferentially limits the ear tag piece 3 sliding into the chute 6, preventing the ear tag piece 3 from moving excessively or falling off on the male tag 1, and increasing the stability of the ear tag piece 3. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the limiting member 4 can be fastened in the chute 6 to circumferentially limit the ear tag piece 3. It can be understood that the limiting member 4 can also be fastened to the outer wall of the male tag 1, and at this time, the ear tag piece 3 can also be circumferentially limited. If the connection method between the ear tag piece 3 and the male tag 1 is snap connection, threaded connection, magnetic attraction connection, plug connection or mortise and tenon connection, the limiting member 4 may not be additionally provided.

[0050] As an improvement, in this embodiment, the multi-color combined splicable ear tag further includes a sensor 8 for recording temperature or the position of the animal (the sensor 8 can be arranged in a specially provided chamber of the male tag 1 or the female tag 10). The sensor 8 can be fixedly installed on the male tag 1 and the female tag 10, which increases the functionality of the ear tag, can be used for animal health monitoring and position tracking, and improves the management efficiency. Of course, it should be noted that in possible embodiments, the sensor 8 can be only arranged on the male tag 1 or the female tag 10.

[0051] Moreover, an identification system is provided on the male tag 1 and the female tag 10. The identification system can include at least one printed identification for printing recognizable information on the male tag 1 and the female tag 10. The identification system can also include at least one laser engraving identification for forming a permanent mark on the male tag 1. The identification system can also include at least one embedded tag embedded inside the male tag 1 for providing an additional identification layer. The embedded tag includes a QR code or a bar code for storing and transmitting the identification information of the animal. The identification system provides multiple information recording and transmission methods, enhancing the information carrying capacity and durability of the ear tag. Moreover, the design of the sensor 8 and the multi-level identification system can combine the Internet of Things and big data technologies to realize the intelligent management of the livestock industry and promote the development of modern livestock industry towards informatization and intelligentization.

[0052] As a further improvement, the materials of the male tag 1, the female tag 10 and the ear tag piece 3 are medical-grade silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane or biodegradable plastic. Moreover, anti-ultraviolet and / or antibacterial coatings are provided on the male tag 1, the female tag 10 and the ear tag piece 3. The ear tags on some animals are long-term exposed to the outdoor environment and are easily affected by ultraviolet rays, rainwater and physical damage, resulting in a short service life. In this embodiment, the materials of the male tag 1, the female tag 10 and the ear tag piece 3 and the design of the anti-ultraviolet and / or antibacterial coatings improve the durability and biocompatibility of the ear tag, reduce the potential harm to animals, and have environmental protection characteristics.

[0053] During specific operations, for example, in a dairy farm, blue ear tag pieces 3 can be used to mark young cattle, red ear tag pieces 3 for sick cattle, and yellow ear tag pieces 3 for high-yield dairy cows. As soon as a calf is born, it will be tagged with an ear tag. As the individual grows and for easier management, at different stages and in different cattle pens, the status at each stage can be identified by adding or replacing different ear tag pieces 3. Moreover, an electronic recording system or database is used to manage the ear tag information to ensure that the information of each cow (such as number, color combination, health status, etc.) can be accurately recorded and retrieved, and the ear tag information is regularly checked and updated to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the data.

[0054] Generally speaking, the multi-color combination spliceable ear tag has the following advantages: (1) The male tag 1 and the female tag 10 are respectively installed on both sides of the animal's ear, and the ear tag pieces 3 are installed circumferentially on the male tag 1 and the female tag 10, which is convenient to observe the information carried by the ear tag on the animal's ear from a distance, from both sides of the ear, and from various circumferential angles, solving the problem of blocked vision. There is a large observation blind area in traditional ear tags, and the multi-color combination spliceable ear tag in this embodiment can effectively avoid the existence of the blind area. Moreover, when using a machine (such as a machine with visual recognition function) to identify the information carried by the ear tag, the machine can capture the information carried by the ear tag not only from one side of the ear, which is also conducive to the machine's rapid acquisition of the information carried by the ear tag. (2) Facilitate identification and management: Using ear tag pieces 3 of multiple colors can help farmers, ranchers, and machine vision more easily identify and manage animals. For example, color coding can be used to distinguish different herds, age groups, health status, or other classifications, which can simplify daily management and records. (2) Improve work efficiency: The combination of ear tag pieces 3 of different colors can quickly convey information, reducing the time for searching and verifying records, thereby improving work efficiency. Ranch staff can quickly identify animals that need special care or different production groups. (3) Reduce errors: Through color coding, errors in the manual recording and identification process can be significantly reduced, which is particularly important for large-scale farms because reducing errors means better management and higher production efficiency. (4) Health and disease management: The multi-color combination spliceable ear tag can be used to identify animals in different vaccination statuses or health conditions, helping ranchers better track and manage vaccination plans and disease control measures. (5) Facilitate statistics and analysis: The multi-color combination spliceable ear tag makes data collection and analysis more intuitive and simple. For example, by quickly counting the number of ear tag pieces 3 of different colors, the number of animals in each classification can be obtained, thus assisting in decision-making and optimizing management strategies. (6) Flexibility: The spliceable design increases the flexibility of the ear tag. Different color ear tag pieces 3 can be added or replaced according to needs. This design not only extends the service life of the ear tag but also makes it more adaptable to different management requirements.

[0055] In summary, the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
