RFID Tags for Swine Management
- Bite‑Resistant Round Shape: Prevents pigs from chewing tags in group housing.
- Reusable or Single‑Use: Options for short‑term projects or full lifecycle traceability.
- UHF or LF Technology: UHF for fast group scanning, LF for accurate individual ID.
- Hygienic Copper Stud: Corrosion‑proof, clean application reduces infection risk.
Our RFID Tags for Swine are engineered to meet the demands of pig farming. By attaching these ear tags to a pig’s ear, you can achieve reliable identification throughout the pig’s lifecycle, from farrowing to finish, significantly reducing tag loss and ensuring the security of your data. Available in both reusable and single-use options, and compatible with either UHF or LF technology, these tags can be customized to match your specific requirements.
Swine RFID Tags Main Features
Bite‑Resistant Round Design
Smooth, low‑profile shape eliminates edges that pigs might chew on in group housing. This design significantly improves retention rates, ensuring long‑term reliability.
Flexible Lifecycle Options
- Reusable Model: Releasable with a special tool, cost‑effective for short‑term use such as quarantine or process batching.
- Single‑Use Model: Permanent lock for official EID compliance and full lifecycle traceability.
RFID Options for Swine
- UHF chips: Long‑range scanning for rapid counts in alleyways or pens.
- LF chips: Global standard for precision tasks like electronic sow feeding (ESF) systems, providing highly accurate individual identification.
Core Applications
- Swine herd management and inventory control
- Breeding, gestation, and farrowing records
- Health monitoring and vaccination tracking
- Pork supply chain traceability
- Integration with automated feeding and sorting systems

Customize Your Livestock RFID Ear Tag
Our RFID ear tags are highly configurable to provide the perfect solution for your specific animal management system. Use the options below to build your ideal tag.
Choose the Right Style for Your Animal
Select from our professionally designed tag styles, each optimized for different animals and applications.
- Large Flag Tag: Our most popular model, providing the largest surface area for highly visible, laser-engraved management codes and logos.
- Highly Recommended for: Cattle
- Long Rectangular Tag: A design that reduces the risk of snagging on fences or feeders.
- Highly Recommended for: Sheep & Goats
- Round Tag: A compact, anti-snag “button” design that ensures the highest retention rates, especially in group housing.
- Highly Recommended for: Pigs & Piglets
Choose Locking Mechanism
- Reusable: Features a through-hole design that allows the male pin to be released with a special applicator.
- Single-Use: Features a closed-hole, permanent locking mechanism. Once applied, it cannot be removed without cutting.
Select RFID Chips
Choose the frequency that matches your existing hardware and operational goals.
- LF (Low Frequency – 134.2KHz): The global standard for official EID (ISO11784/5). Offers unmatched reliability for close-range, individual scans.
- UHF (Ultra-High Frequency – 860-960MHz): The best choice for long-range, bulk reading. Ideal for scanning entire groups of animals at a gate or in a truck.
Customize Visuals & Marking
- Color Options: Yellow, Orange, Green or customize.
- Laser Engraving: We offer permanent laser engraving for your logos, management codes, serial numbers, barcodes, or QR codes.
Finalize Your Data Services
- Data Pre-Encoding: We can pre-program each tag with your required ID sequence, including official EID numbers.
- Large Flag Tag: Our most popular model, providing the largest surface area for highly visible, laser-engraved management codes and logos.
What is the difference between the reusable and single-use tags?
Single‑use tags have a permanent lock and must be cut to remove, making them standard for EID and full lifecycle traceability. Reusable tags can be removed with a special tool, offering a cost‑effective option for short‑term use.
Why is a round tag recommended for pigs?
The smooth, button‑style design has no edges for pigs to chew on. This greatly reduces tag loss in group housing and ensures higher retention rates.
For automated feeding systems, should I use UHF or LF?
Use LF chips. It offers precise, individual identification at feeding stations and is the industry standard for electronic sow feeding (ESF) systems.
Are these tags suitable for piglets?
Yes. The 30 mm round tag fits pigs of different sizes, including piglets. We can advise on optimal tagging time and placement to maximize animal welfare and retention.
