The American Boer Goat Association identifies animals based on age and ownership tattoos in the right and left ear of the animal. These tattoos must follow ABGA rules and guidelines. Todas las cabras deben estar tatuadas en el momento de la solicitud de registro. Cada cabra debe tener una secuencia de tatuaje única. El PREFIJO DEL REBAÑO del solicitante se tatuará en la oreja derecha de todas las cabras presentadas para el registro. (Si una hembra se vende a un nuevo propietario durante la preñez, las crías resultantes de esa preñez deberán tener el prefijo del rebaño del propietario de la hembra en broma tatuado en la oreja derecha de cada cría presentada para el registro). En la oreja izquierda de todos los chivos que se presenten para el registro, se tatuará una letra para indicar el año de nacimiento del animal, seguida de un número de serie para designar el orden de nacimiento. ( Ver letras de tatuaje ABGA ). ABGA no registrará ninguna cabra con el mismo tatuaje (combinación de tatuajes en la oreja derecha e izquierda) dentro de un período de 22 años. La identificación con microchip implantado de forma permanente será aceptada por ABGA como identificación oficial además de, o en lugar de, los tatuajes. Letras de tatuaje ABGA 2025 R 2024 P 2023 N 2022 M 2021 L Year Letter Vista Consejos para tatuar con éxito a sus cabras Cabestro o bozal al animal, si es necesario. Inserte los símbolos correctos en los alicates. Compruebe la exactitud de los símbolos haciendo una marca en una hoja de papel. Frote la tinta en la piel, eligiendo un área libre de pecas y verrugas, si es posible. Coloque los símbolos paralelos y entre las venas o el cartílago de la oreja o las venas de la red de la cola. La pasta verde es mucho mejor para la identificación de tatuajes permanentes, particularmente cuando el tejido que recibe el tatuaje es negro o muy oscuro. No toque el área hasta que se complete el proceso de curación, que puede ser de cinco a veintiún días. Mantenga una lista de números de tatuajes con nombres de animales e ingréselo en su registro de cría privado. Para leer el tatuaje en un animal de orejas oscuras, sostenga una linterna encendida contra la parte exterior de la oreja. Equipo necesario: bicarbonato de sodio, dígitos para tatuajes, números y alfabeto, tinta para tatuajes (pasta o roll-on; el verde es el más versátil), alicates para tatuajes, toallitas húmedas, cepillo de dientes y toalla. Limpia el oído. Frote la mitad de la oreja con una toallita. Seque bien la oreja. Aplicar tinta en la oreja. Tatúa la oreja con unos alicates para tatuajes. Empuje hacia abajo con fuerza. El prefijo del rebaño va en el oído derecho, y la letra del año y el número de la cabra van en el oído izquierdo. Aplique más tinta. Aplica bicarbonato de sodio. Aplique bicarbonato de sodio en el área tatuada. Producto terminado después de un año.
