  • Nylon Cow Collar (Neck Strap) – Black with Red Stripe

    The Nylon Cow Collar is a heavy-duty neck strap designed to hold identification transponders, weights, and activity monitors (neck tags) for dairy cattle. Featuring a high-visibility red stripe against a black background, these collars allow for quick visual identification of cows in a herd while providing the structural integrity needed to support electronic components.

    Key Features

    • Ultra-Durable Weave: Constructed from industrial-grade nylon that is resistant to fraying, even when subjected to constant friction against self-locking yokes and feed barriers.
    • UV & Weather Resistant: The material is treated to prevent becoming brittle or fading under direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations.
    • Easy Identification: The red stripe acts as a "safety stripe," making it easier for staff to see if a collar is properly positioned or if it has become loose from a distance.
    • Heavy-Duty Hardware Compatibility: Designed to be used with standard metal D-rings, buckles, and plastic sliders used to secure ID tags and counterweights.

    Installation & Safety Tips

    Proper fitting is essential for both data accuracy and animal welfare:

    1. The Two-Finger Rule: When buckled, you should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and the cow's neck. A collar that is too tight can cause breathing issues, while one that is too loose can get snagged or lead to poor transponder readings.
    2. Positioning: Ensure the transponder is located on the side or top of the neck (depending on your system's requirements) and that the counterweight is at the bottom to keep the assembly upright.
    3. Check Regularly: Check the collars of growing heifers every few weeks to prevent the strap from becoming too tight as the animal develops.

    Common Use Cases

    • Heat Detection: Securing activity sensors that monitor rumination and movement.
    • Automatic Feeding: Holding ISO transponders that trigger specific feed rations at out-of-parlor feeders.
    • Sorting Gates: Allowing the robot or sorting system to identify the cow for drafting.
