Assigning an active device to an animal's EID

If EIDs (electronic identification numbers) are mandatory in your country, we recommend assigning active collars or active ear tags to an animal's EID. This will ensure that animals are drafted (sorted) correctly for insemination if you're using an automatic drafting (sorting) gate.

What you need:

• A mobile phone with the Datamars Livestock Monitoring app installed

• The magnet supplied with your active devices

• A Tru-Test XRS2i/XRS2 EID stick reader or SRS2i/SRS2 EID stick reader

• Active collars or active ear tags
