DISCOVER SHEEP TISSUE SAMPLING TAGS FOR DNA TESTING

An Easy and Practical Tool to Gather Material for DNA Testing

Caisley DNA tag is designed to take a tissue sample at the point of tagging. This means that you can tag your lambs as normal at birth, but you are able to take a tissue sample whilst doing so. The system used is ‘tamper proof’, because the sample is sealed at the same time that the tag is inserted into the animal’s ear. All details on the tag are also present on the tissue sample vial that is left firmly in the applicator after tagging. Sample vials can then be sent off for DNA analysis.
