Cattle identification by freeze branding
Due to a short reaction time of extremely low temperatures, there will be the reaction of destroyed
pigments in the skin. After about 6 weeks time there will grow white hair on black or dark brown skin.
This method can be used independently of the age of the animal. The white numbers will stay readable
for many years.
Necessary accessories:
- 1 set figures or single ones
- 1 case made of styropor, diameter ca. 40 cm
- 1 pair strong protection gloves
- liquid nitrogen (available at artificial insemination stations for example)
The liquid nitrogen (temperature -196°C) has to be filled into the case, so that the metallic area of the
stamps is covered. Keep it in the liquid for about 1 minute till the bubbling stopped. Now the stamps
have the correct temperature.
Clipp the area where you want to place the numbering short and clean them with water containing
some household detergents. Now press the stamps singly for about 30 seconds onto the skin where the
number should arise. Take care that the stamp is really pressed to the skin and that no air can come in
between.
Attention: Please wear strong protection gloves, as risk of cold brand and acid!
Please also consider the certain animal protection laws of your country and that the
identification by freeze branding cannot be used on red-coloured cows!
