Title: ear notching Post by: nemo on December 17, 2007, 10:16:47 PM Ear notching is done in large farm to aid in data gathering or farm monitoring.
In some sytem they just notch the animal number . In some the left ear is for the animal number and the right is for farrowing day. Every farm have different notching system depending on their use. (http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h116/rodeorodeo/earnotch-agndsunodakedu.jpg) So, how is it done? For example the piglet's number is 4, on the left ear (animal facing you/ your right side) cut on the portion of 3 and 1 . ----------------- i have to edit lang for clarification Title: Re: ear notching Post by: mr hog on December 18, 2007, 09:32:23 AM Doc thankx for that info.An easy way to keep track of the hogs.
