Why Animark
Engineered to outlast the animal
A tag that fades, snags or falls out costs you the record. Every component we make is designed around one outcome: identification you can still read years from now.
01
UV-stable material
Aircraft-grade thermoplastic polyurethane resists sunlight, frost and rubbing — colour and flexibility hold for the animal's full life.
02
Laser-etched legibility
Numbers are laser-fused into the surface, not printed on top. They will not wear off, smudge, or scratch away in the race.
03
One-piece retention
A tamper-evident locking pin and flexible neck distribute strain, cutting tag loss to a fraction of a percent across the season.
04
Traceability built in
Optional FDX-B / HDX EID, barcodes and QR link every animal to your herd software for movement, medicine and breeding records.
The range
Tags for the whole holding
From newborn lamb to breeding bull — visual, electronic and management tags, plus the tools to apply them.

Animark — About
What we do
Precision tags, engineered to be read
Animark makes identification tags and EID systems for cattle and sheep, trusted on farms across Europe.
ICARcertified
In-house production
Tags that stay readable
Every Animark tag is engineered and made to exacting international standards — moulded, laser-marked and quality-checked. We handle numbering, quality control, certification and delivery, so you get identification that stays legible for the full working life of the animal, from a single accountable supplier.
Visual tags, electronic EID and the tools to fit them: identification that is precise, durable and simple to order in the numbering you need.
What we stand for
Three things we won't compromise on
It has to last
A tag that fails is a lost animal record. Ours are built and tested to read clearly years after they go in — through sun, frost and mud.
Kind to the animal
Soft polyurethane, smooth edges and balanced weight mean less irritation and faster healing at the tag site.
Honest to deal with
Clear pricing, real lead times and a person who picks up the phone. No surprises between quote and delivery.
Sourcing & quality
Sourcing & quality assurance
Every Animark tag is engineered and made to exacting international standards. We control quality on every batch and manage numbering, certification and delivery — a single, accountable point of supply.
Made to our specification
Every tag is made from UV-stable thermoplastic polyurethane to our specification — material controlled from pellet to finished panel.
- UV stabilisers blended into every batch
- No recycled filler — virgin material only
Laser marking
Numbers are fused into the surface with a fibre laser — not printed on top — so they can't peel, fade or be rubbed away.
- High-contrast, readable at distance
- Every digit verified by camera
EID encoding
Transponders are programmed and read-tested to ISO 11784/85 before they're ever paired with a visual panel.
- 100% scan-tested, no exceptions
- HDX and FDX-B options
Our quality control
We batch-sample every order for retention force, legibility and colour, and manage numbering and traceability before dispatch.
- Documented quality process
- Full batch traceability
Responsibility
Made with the land in mind
Animark tags are made with responsible production in mind — recyclable materials, reduced waste and plastic-free cardboard packaging. Identifying animals well is part of farming responsibly, and the tags are made responsibly too.
Electronic identification
How electronic ID works with your database
Each electronic tag carries a unique, unalterable code that links the animal to its record in your national or herd database — the backbone of modern traceability.
FDX-B · KEID 100
Full-duplex
A compact, lower-cost transponder read at close range — ideal for parlours, weigh-crates and everyday handling.
HDX · HEID 700
Half-duplex
Extended read range and strong performance in high-throughput races and automated drafting systems.
Encode
Each tag is encoded with a unique ISO code before it leaves us.
Apply
Fitted once with the applicator; the metal tip gives a clean, low-loss hold.
Read
Any standards-compliant reader captures the code hands-free.
Record
The code syncs to your national or herd database for full traceability.
Trusted in the field
Built for programmes that can’t afford a re-tag
We supply veterinary authorities, cooperatives and commercial holdings across more than thirty countries. A full reference list and programme case studies are available under NDA on request.
National programmes
Numbering, prefixes and reporting matched to official identification schemes.
Cooperatives
