SLAP MARKER

Individual pig ID is now a legal requirement. On sending an animal over 12 months for slaughter you must have either a slap marker tattoo, a metal ear tag or a plastic ear tag.

The slap marker must be applied to each front shoulder area and be clearly legible with the herd mark and animal number. The slap marker does not require a UK prefix.

Our slap marker kit comes with Slap Marker, Ink, Ink Pad and a mixture of 6 Letters & Numbers.

For further information on the legal requirements for identifying pigs please look on the DEFRA web-site, in Scotland on the Scottish Government site, and in Northern Ireland on the DARDNI site.
