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.

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 .

Yeah, some would do. And they also give them names. Especially, if it is a sow.
They would name it after a bold star.

Doc, kung number 5 saan ko i cut po
-
kung 5
dun sa area ng notch number 1 mag cut sila ng 2 then notch 3 cut isa ng isa so total niya is 1+1+3 = 5
bale dun po sila sa left part ng ear mag notch
yun right ear kasi para naman litter number yun.
