Z-Tag TSU Bag of MF13 Cattle Tissue Sampling Units Paired With A Numbered 1 Side Ear Tag And Matched ComfortEar F4S 964 HDX Button (4/bag)

Suitable for cattle that need a management tag and EID in addition to a sample being taken. Combine tagging an animal and taking a tissue sample into one handling activity. Send the tissue sample to a lab to test genetics, and potential disease carrying animals. Collecting tissue samples has never been more efficient and cost effective. Scientific advancements in the mapping of livestock genomes along with continued development of affordable analytics has changed the sampling industry – making it easier and quicker for producers to use DNA for:

• Parentage verification
• Genetic selection
• BVD diagnostics

Paired with a Comfortear 964 EID tag and button (NOT 840 EID). The RFID tag is extremely lightweight, only 6 grams, to promote healing and increase retention. Can be read by any EID tag reader.

The tissue sampler takes a fast, clean and accurate sample in an easy, low-stress way. The tissue tagger is easy to load and works like any other tag applicator. For the tissue sampler, just squeeze the tagger until you hear two clicks and you’re done. Unlike blood or hair, tissue samples are robust and longer-lasting. ZTag uses a dry desiccant, which allows the sample to last for up to six months without refrigeration. The tissue sample will also be larger, granting the ability to run more tests than a conventional blood or hair sample.
