Flectron Eartags (Fly tags) Pk. 10

Flectron eartags can control flies for up to 4 months when used as directed. For maximum benefit they should therefore be applied at the beginning of the season before fly populations build up. For complete control the entire herd should be tagged.
One tag per animal is usually sufficient to achieve acceptable levels of fly control. However, where head and face fly attack is very severe, two tags may be necessary, one on each ear. Flectron eartags should be attached to the ear as follows:
Load stud and tag into the applicator according to the manufacturer's
directions. Restrain the animal, preferably in a crush, so that the ear can be reached easily. Position the point of the fixing stud between the blood vessels in an area of firm tissue halfway between the head and the tip of the ear. A position between the second and third rib of the ear is ideal.Depress the applicator until a click is heard. This means the tag and the fixing are firmly secured.
