Abstract

Conventionally, the last some digits of the Animal Registration Number printed on ear tag for identifying an individual animal in a wide area like a nation are simply enlarged for farm use. However, the simply enlarged farm use number is not a desirable number for the farm to use and is inconvenient for the farm to control animals on the farm, The present invention provides the improvement of making the ear tag, containing an Animal Registration Number CN controlled by the specific management department consisting of codes including numerals, letters, or barcodes, to be used by attaching it to an ear of an animal, in order to identify an individual animal. The Animal Registration Number CN having multiple digits prepared at the specific management department is printed at least on one of the sides of the ear tag. Some part of the Animal Registration Number CN is enlarged and printed on the ear tag as a farm use number FN in accordance with a request from an individual farm by using a minimum number of digits. The enlarged farm use number FN is generated by selecting some digits from the Animal Registration Number CN and is printed on the same or a different side of the ear tag where the Animal Registration Number is printed, so that the farm use number can be effectively created from the Animal Registration Number CN.
