Dry Ice may be used in various industries for multiple purposes of which freeze-branding cattle and horses is another unique application thereof.
Instead of heating branding irons when used in traditional methods, the branding irons are frozen using dry ice during a cold process.
The cold branding iron destroys the underlying skin cells which produce hair pigmentation, so when the hair grows back it is of bright white coloration.
Ear tags frequently get lost, the number fades or the tag becomes illegible, therefore freeze-branding remains a far better option for identification.
There are several advantages to freeze-branding:
• Freeze brands are permanent identification marks for cattle and horses.
• The branding is easy to see and identify from a distance.
• Ideal for identification in the milking parlour and require for efficient data recording.
• Essential for stock identification.
• The animal is less traumatised and experiences less pain and stress, which is important for the animal’s welfare.
• The branding is clear, neat and tidy
• Free-branding causes little or no damage to the hide.
