Begin by restraining the animal securely, preferably in a squeeze chute, and clean the ear with rubbing alcohol to remove any wax or debris that could affect the tattoo's clarity. It's advisable to clip hair from the tattoo area for better visibility and to prevent interference with the ink. Use a halter for additional control if necessary. When applying the tattoo, make sure the digits are correctly aligned and the pliers are set firmly to ensure the ink penetrates the skin adequately. After tattooing, use a toothbrush or similar tool to rub more ink into the punctures, enhancing the permanence of the mark. Disinfect the equipment between animals to maintain biosecurity measures.  Regularly check the tattoos for legibility, as hair growth can cause fading over time. Lastly, prioritize human safety while working around the animals, as proper restraint is essential to prevent injuries. ‍

Stainless steel nipple drinkers offer a multitude of benefits for swine management. They are highly durable and resistant to corrosion, which means they can last a long time without the need for frequent replacements. This material is also easy to clean and resistant to staining and discoloration, ensuring that the water supply remains uncontaminated. Additionally, stainless steel is heat resistant, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. The design of these drinkers keeps the water clean and free of dirt and debris, which is crucial for the health of the livestock. They have been shown to decrease or prevent the spread of diseases such as Trichomonosis, Mycoplasma synoviae, and Coccidiosis, which are common in poultry.
