Notches in ears for identification

Good day.
Estoy looking for the code to identify, by means of notches in the ears, the litter number and individual's number.
Alguien could give it or to say where conseguirlo?
Saludos.

Of him one has knowledge, it is that each breeder can have an established code, because it is him who has to have domain on the same one (at least, that made when I was devoted good time to the Pig Industry).
Para me, in the ventral part of the left ear, the notches went of unit in unit (it is worth to say that a notch was 1, two it was 2, up to four, the tip of the ear 5, and in the dorsal part the dozens 10, 20, 30.
Esto me dió capacity for 70 animals, and if he/she made a perforation in the ear, this was worth 100. So that this enlarged my covering to 170 animals.
La right ear reserved it for the litter.
En end, many combinations can be made, and in what it is necessary to enter, it is in the development of the common and practical sense.
Mucha luck.

If you divide the ear in 4 parts, horizontal, and vertical, you would have that the quadrant 1 are the external inferior of the ear and that voucher 1, the quadrant 2 are the external superior of the ear it is worth 3, the third quadrant is the internal superior it is worth 9, and the quadrant that is next to the head in the cartilage (care with this) it is worth 27.
Si notes, they cannot put on 3 notches of a number because you have the following one immediate (for example, it is not placed 3 notches of 1 because you have a notch that is worth 3, and so forth).
Sólo is to add the values of the notches, and you will have an identification. This way with both ears.
La tip of the ear is worth 81, that is to say, you can place until an identification of 161.
Espero that you have understood it. If not, do warn me.

Hello to all. Because I make something as simple as to buy some badges, male-female that you/they unite both, in which the number of my exploitation, the number of my district, goes the month in that the pig was born, my initials, and lately a code of bars type microchip that he discovers you until... until... until the DNA. The numbers go from the zero to the infinite.
Greetings.

if you divide to the right ear of pig in 4 quadrants, and empeza for the inferior left quadrant (always of the animal) of the right ear with the I number 1, which can repeat 2 times. in the right inferior cuadrantre a muezca that is worth 3, in the tip of the ear is worth 5, and in the right superior quadrant it is worth 10(el 1,10,100 he/she repeats twice in the same cuadrante)el quadrant that it lacks voucher 30, and later I followed the sequence in the left ear. beginning with the right superior quadrant. Prune to mark up to 2999 animals, but if you add him the notch of the center of the ears you prune to arrive at 9999, tre seems a little. does any thing escribime send this way you the explanatory drawing.
