Ankle & Marking Bands: Easily Identify Cows in the Barn
Alongside ear tags, bands on the neck and leg are a proven method for reliably identifying cattle in loose housing or on the pasture. Neckbands are ideal for large, highly legible numbers. Ankle bands help you primarily in the milking parlour, where the cow's legs are right at eye level, allowing you to immediately identify animals with discarded milk before you even attach the cluster.
The Right Bands for Every Position
To ensure that the markings sit well and do not bother the animal in everyday barn life, the right material is essential:
- Robust Neckbands: They sit securely and can often be weighted down so that the number always hangs in the middle. Strong fasteners prevent the cow from losing the band at the feed barrier.
- Flexible Ankle Bands: Attached to the leg, they do not bother the animal when walking or lying down. Velcro fasteners make application particularly fast. These bands are also often used to securely attach sensors or pedometers.
- Highly Legible Numbers: Numbers that slide onto the bands must offer high contrast. Whether single digits or entire blocks, they must not twist and must remain abrasion-resistant.
Frequently Asked Questions
How tight should an ankle band be?
The band must be tight enough so that it does not slip down over the dewclaws, but it must not constrict the leg under any circumstances. A finger's width of space between the band and the leg is a good guideline.
Why do I need a weight on the neckband?
Cows move their heads a lot when eating and lying down. A small weight always pulls the band back down into the correct position so that the number block is always easy for you to read.
Visible Herd Identification for the Barn
Structured herd identification makes daily work easier. In our range, you will find tear-resistant neck marking bands for cows, optionally with a practical clip fastener or secure ring fastener. To ensure the lettering remains clearly visible, the bands can be weighted down with a weight for the neck marking band. For individual numbering, we offer conspicuous neckband numbers as single digits or as a complete number block. In the milking parlour, ankle bands made of plastic are ideal, as they are easily recognizable at eye level. We stock ankle marking bands in various colours, including variants as marking bands with Velcro fastening. For the use of herd management systems, special ankle bands for pedometers are suitable, and for the digits on the leg, there are matching ankle band numbers.
