What identification does a calf receive after vaccination for Brucella?

After vaccination for Brucella, a calf receives an ear tag and a vaccination tattoo as identification. The ear tag serves as a visible marker indicating that the animal has been vaccinated against Brucella, which is important for herd management and biosecurity purposes. The vaccination tattoo is typically placed in the ear and serves as a permanent record of the vaccination. This dual identification method provides a reliable way for farmers and veterinary personnel to confirm the vaccination status of the calf, helping to prevent the spread of this disease.

The other identification methods—such as branding, microchipping, or using a collar with an ID tag—are not standard practices for identifying vaccinated calves against Brucella. Branding is more permanent but is not commonly used for vaccination identification. Microchips are typically used for individual animal identification rather than specific vaccination records. A collar with an ID tag might be useful for other types of identification but does not align with the protocols established for Brucella vaccination.
