Destron – The wave of future livestock production and marketing

Destron® Technologies uses full deplex (FDX) technology in our electronic ear tags (e. Tag®) to identify individual animals. FDX technology provides reliable read distance and functionality on the farm and in the challenging environments of slaughter facilities. Each tag contains an encapsulated microchip that is preprogrammed with a unique and unalterable 15-digit, ISO-numeric code and a miniature antenna coil. The e.Tag® is read using a scanner that emits a radio signal which is picked up by the tag’s antenna. This signal powers the microchip to send its code back to the reader.

e.Tags® are applied with Fearing® Duflux® ear tag system that has a long-proven track record of retention and durability. A secondary benefit to these tags is the patented Infecta+Guard™ to improve tag retention. Each e.Tag is permanently Lasermarked™ with an entire sequence of numbers on the tag surface that corresponds to the programmed ISO number in the microchip. A 2-D barcode is also included on each e.Tag as an identification backup.
