To date, no uniform, centralized, system has been available as a platform for the Livestock
sector ( Commercial and communal farmers ), State Veterinary Departments, Law enforcement
Departments, auctioneers, feedlots, abattoirs, meat processing plants and the meat retail sector.
MSD Animal Health, South Africa believes that the introduction of this first in South Africa will have a huge impact
in the animal health management through all sectors involved.
The ear tags are high quality products from
a well known tag manufacturer, Allflex, Europe. The eartags with their numbering
system allows for an affordable system versus RFID which currently is not an economically viable
system for the average South African farmer, and many other role players in the livestock sector
internationally.
The ear tags are available from
participating Co-operatives, animal health shops and Veterinarians.

Value add:
Animal health recordings wherein vaccinations, de-worming, dipping etc may be recorded will have the
ability to assist livestock producers to ask for an extra premium for well managed and “healthy animals”.
Cost effective downloadable GMPBasic
® software on memory stick, will be available
for purchase to use with the ID Tags from the participating outlets.
*The cost effective software is also available from the
Internet.
Read the installation EULA for the terms and
conditions of use.
The software usage is for free. To use the
system ID tags must be used to capture the animals
data. The ID Tags distributed by MSD are functional on the system, each with it’s own
unique number, will be available for sale at participating co-operatives,
veterinary clinics and Government animal health sectors
