    Hi there,

    was just wondering whether anyone knows if a seperate tagger needs to be purchased for the new BVD eradication tag scheme or will my current, regular tagger suffice in collecting tissue samples?

    Thanks

    I saw a vet using a new version of the tagger for taking samples. Looks like a new one has to be purchased :)

    I was at the AHI "roadshow":confused:( I was expecting something like 'toys for big boys or something') the other night. Turns out it was just a meeting:

    ( It seems the tagger is needed to punch the sample. I think from seeing a short clip of it being used that it has a different type of parallel arms for the closing jaws. Costs about €25.

    Yes is the answer.

    Although the new tagger can also be used for the current tags.
