Active EarTag Setup
Attaching EarTags
It is important to fit the tags to cows as soon as possible to start recording information on cow activity.
This information is needed to provide a baseline of activity for each animal and group. This baseline is then
used to provide animal insights in future. The baseline activity collection typically takes between 4 and 7
days.
To attach the EarTag please follow the steps below.
1. EarTags have been functionally validated and switched to the correct operational mode prior
to shipping.
2. Record the number on the rear of the EarTag and the visual ID of the cow that the EarTag will be
installed on.
3. Fit EarTag and male to the Z2 no tEarTagger™ as follows:
4. Depress the metal clamp holder and place the EarTag under the clamp.
5. Push the male tag full onto the tagger pin.
