    DESCRIPTION
    The invention relates to a device for earmarking cattle, in particular piglets, comprising applying an ear tag through the external ear.
    An ear tag is a, usually yellow, numbered label on the ears of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. Ear tags are an official license plate and an aid to determine the origin of animals.
    Ear tags are usually applied with an ear tag, the male tag of the ear tag being provided with a sharp, pointed penetration part in one part of the tong and the other female ear tag part in the opposite part thereof. The outer ear, the earcup, is then placed between the two tongs and the pointed pinion part is pushed through the outer ear, where on the other hand it is collected and secured by the female ear tag part, so that the ear tag remains inseparably connected to the animal.
    Working with an ear tag pliers has disadvantages, especially when many (young) animals have to be earmarked. The present invention therefore has for its object to provide an improved device with which work can be carried out faster, more hygienically and more efficiently.
    To this end, the invention provides a device for earmarking livestock, in particular piglets, comprising arranging an ear tag through the outer ear, comprising a male part with a sharp penetration part, adapted to pass through one side of the outer ear through that external ear, and a female member with a receiving member adapted to receive and secure that penetration member on the other side of the outer ear; which device comprises - a first magazine module adapted to contain and present male ear tag parts at a first outlet, and a second warehouse module adapted to contain and present female ear tag parts to a second outlet; - a feed-through module, arranged for feeding control pair from the first and second magazine module, in pairs, one male and one female ear tag part to a processing module; - which processing module, arranged for fitting the ear tag in the external ear concerned, comprises o a first receiving part, arranged for receiving a male ear tag part from the feed-through module, o a second receiving part arranged for receiving a female ear tag from the feed-through module ear tag part, o a space for placing the relevant external ear between the first and second receiving part, o drive means for driving the male and / or female ear tag part under control of the control means during a work stroke such that the penetration part of the male ear tag part starts one side of the outer ear penetrates through that outer ear and is received and secured on the other side of the outer ear by the receiving part of the female ear tag part; wherein the drive means of the processing module comprise a (preferably pneumatic) drive cylinder which is adapted to move the first and second ear tag parts towards each other under the control of the control means during the working stroke.
