Products that serve you
When you are out in the field you want products that work today. And you want to know what you need and what you don't need for your farm. That is why we have designed these case studies.
DNA or Blood Testing?
Need to keep track of cattle during DNA testing?
Need to print labels for blood collection tubes?
Accurate labelling is essential to avoid mix-ups in the yards. That’s why having a reliable scanner and printer on hand matters.
We recommend a Zebra mobile barcode printer for when you are blood testing in-field and needing accurate labelling that keeps your records straight and your breeding program on track.
For reading barcodes on Allflex DNA Tissue Sampling Units (TSU), you’ll also need a Bluetooth EID reader to capture the animal’s ID alongside the sample data.
We recommend pairing the Zebra DS2278 Scanner or a Zebra CS6080 Bluetooth barcode scanner for simple, accurate, and robust in-field reading. These are both compatible with the Tru-Test XRS2 or Gallagher HR5 EID Readers
Tracking Sheep Fleeces in the Shed
Keep your fleece records straight—right from the board
In a busy shearing shed, it’s easy for data to get lost. The rousie is picking up fleeces, the classer is sorting, and you’re trying to keep track of which midside sample came from which ewe.
But accurate records matter. You need to know exactly which animal that sample came from.
At MSL, we understand how a real shed runs. That’s why we recommend rugged, mobile Zebra printers and scanners that work right where you do.
Here’s how it can work in your shed:
The shearer or rousie scans the animal’s EID as it’s shorn.
A weatherproof barcode label prints immediately at the board.
That label stays with the fleece and is scannable at every step—whether it’s being weighed, sorted at the classing table, or pressed into the bale.
No handwriting. No confusion. No pen smudges. Just clean, reliable data tied to every animal—making your micron results something you can trust when selecting your next season’s replacements.
We recommend the Zebra DS2278 Scanner and a Zebra mobile barcode printer for straightforward, in-shed labelling that keeps your records clear and your breeding program on track.
