You might as well get an ID card for livestock.

From October 1, the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of Deqing County, Zhejiang Province began to make all stored pigs hang second-generation ear labels. Without the second-generation ear labels, they will not be able to obtain quarantine certificates, and they will not be able to be fenced, transported, slaughtered and processed.

It is understood that the second-generation ear labels issued to live pigs in Deqing County, Zhejiang Province, contain more information, and can record the whole process of pigs from birth to slaughter, such as the name of the township (village), the name of the livestock owner, the name of the epidemic prevention officer, the time and times of epidemic prevention, and so on. Once unqualified animal products are found in the market, law enforcement management departments can quickly find the source through the second-generation ear labels, identify illegal producers and operators, and effectively prevent the flow of problematic pork into the table.

The ear tag of the second generation of live pigs is a veritable livestock "ID card", which brings great convenience to the supervision of animal husbandry departments. In fact, the distribution range of the second generation ear tags can be extended to cattle, sheep and other large livestock. On the one hand, like pig management, cattle, horses and other livestock cannot get quarantine without second-generation ear labels, and cannot achieve fencing, transportation, slaughtering and processing, and it is also necessary to prevent problematic beef and mutton from entering the market to ensure the safety of meat products.

On the other hand, for free-range livestock raised by families, having an "ID card" can also ensure their own safety and the property safety of farmers. There have been media reports that when patrolling, the police of a local police station often take the lost livestock back to the police station to take care of them and wait for farmers to claim them. After a long time, the backyard of the police station has become a "zoo." The reason is that it is extremely difficult for the police station to find and verify the owners of these livestock.

If conditions permit, you can also make a summary of the information contained in the ear tag into a real livestock "ID card" and distribute it to the owner for safekeeping and use. In this way, we can not only accurately find and contact the owner after the livestock is lost, prevent the occurrence of being falsely claimed by others, but also effectively curb the occurrence of "stealing cattle and horses". When police patrols find suspicious people driving livestock, they can intercept and ask for the "ID card" of large livestock. In this way, who dares to take a chance to lead unlicensed livestock?.
