This is a featured content specified in Circular No. 25/2016/TT-BNNPTNT of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural development of Vietnam providing for the quarantine of terrestrial animals and animal products.

According to Circular No. 25/2016/TT-BNNPTNT of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural development of Vietnam, marking the animals transported out of the provincial areas is guided as follows:

When the buffalo, cow, goat, sheep, deer, horse, donkey and mule are transported out of the provincial areas, they must be marked with plastic ear tags. The ear tag is pressed on the inside of the right ear of cattle. The ear tag is defined as follows:

- The blue ear tag is shown in figure 1 in Appendix VIII issued with this Circular, size: 4 cm (width) x 5 cm (height); there must be the code and number of the cattle on the tag.

- The code of cattle consists of the code of provincial-level Branch having functions of specialized veterinary management; district code (02 digits); year of ear tagging (the 02 last digits of the year) and the ordinal number of cattle (calculated from 000001 to 999999).

- The way to write the code of cattle on the card is specified in Figure 2 in Appendix VIII issued with this Circular.

- The ink used to write the code of cattle is in black color without blurring and erasure.
