Show success for Roxan ID - that’s ‘Taginnovation’
Roxan ID was awarded a sliver
medal for technical innovation for the
second time in 3 years at 2014’s Royal
Highland Show.
agFaster PRO is an evolution of the
original silver award winning TagFaster
sheep tag applicator that significantly
changed the tagging world back in
2011.
The new model is a motorised sheep
tagging applicator, which relieves the
task of tagging, medicates the ear/wound and
counts and records (in it’s on-board memory)
the electronic tag numbers as they are fitted.

With the finalisation of EID tagging being
implement first of January 2015, Roxan are
remaining one step ahead.
It also doubles up as a stick reader, with a
longer-range, continuous reader located in the
back of the device. All data can be fed back to
a mobile app, and stored or sorted as to the
preference of the farmer.
As is with the original TagFaster applicator,
the TagFaster Pro works in tandem with the
Roxan system of double tagging, transforming
the job from a task which requires multiple
strips of tags and applicators, into an all-in-one
time and effort saving solution.
The TagFaster range also eliminates the
need for an extra person to manually pair
together tags before application. All TagFaster
double tag strips have the yellow EID
tag “decorated” with a patch of the same
plastic “year colour” as the other matching
visual tag to help in case of year-tag losses.
Now, with increasing regulatory
requirements for enhanced livestock
traceability, the TagFaster Pro delivers a start to
finish bundle for applying and recording EID
tags.
The battery-powered tagger relieves the
strain of hand held application when dealing
with large stock numbers. The careful design
and durable build quality of the TagFaster Pro
mean that tagging for longer periods of time is
significantly easier and more comfortable.
With just the touch of a button, tags are
delivered with a powerful punch into the ear of
the animal, and then fed round in a satisfyingly
mechanical manner.
On the side of the TagFaster Pro is a robust
plastic bottle the can be filled with a liquid of
choice. Antiseptics, fly repellents or similar can
be loaded and are delivered with pinpoint
accuracy to the wound of the tag insertion.
The Welcome Welfare of the TagFaster Pro
pairs perfectly with the anti-pinch pin and live
release hinge of the TagFaster tag that has
been engineered specifically to keep tag
pressure off the ear and minimise the chance of
infection.
The TagFaster Pro applicator is another large
innovative step forward for Roxan ID, and yet
again raises the bar for the advancement of
agricultural services.
With the finalisation of EID tagging being
implement first of January 2015, Roxan are
remaining one step ahead by providing farmers
with an inclusive system that delivers tags
which retain, read and record, and incorporates
considerations of animal welfare that are not
found from any other tag manufacturer.
