What is the difference between single-use and reusable versions?

Single-use tags feature a locking pin that cannot be removed intact — ideal for slaughter traceability. Reusable tags use an open-clasp mechanism that can be released and re-applied to breeding or farrowing sows.

Can these tags withstand ammonia-rich pig housing environments?

Yes. The TPU body and copper stud are resistant to ammonia and humid barn conditions. The IP68 rating ensures the chip remains fully functional.
