Abstract
An animal ear tag wherein the head of the ear tag is engaged by a driving pin of the applicator, which is guided by an open slot or channel into an aperture in the head and into a bore extending towards a tip portion of the head. This allows easier fitment of the tag to an applicator in the circumstances where cross-infection through contact between the applicator pin and the animal's ear is not an issue.
