Kerbl 10 mm tattoo digits are essential components of a permanent livestock identification system. They are designed to create durable identification numbers directly on the animal's ear, eliminating the risk of lost plastic ear tags while providing lifelong identification for each individual animal.
Application
The 10 mm size is the industry standard, primarily used for:
Cattle farming: identification of calves and adult cattle.
Pig farming: marking sows and older piglets.
Breeding records: permanent identification of animals registered in breeding programs.
How It Works
Each digit features a durable body fitted with precisely positioned needles made from high-quality hardened steel, arranged in the shape of the selected number. The digit is inserted into the head of a compatible tattoo plier. During tattooing, the needles puncture the skin, creating a pattern of micro-perforations that is subsequently filled with tattoo ink or paste, producing a permanent and highly legible identification mark.
In Practice
Excellent readability: The 10 mm format ensures clear, high-contrast identification numbers that remain legible for years, simplifying everyday livestock management and record keeping.
Perfect compatibility: The digits are precisely engineered to fit standard Kerbl tattoo pliers, both aluminium and steel models, preventing movement during use and ensuring accurate, consistent tattooing.
