Branding is a popular method of animal identification. The method uses permanent ink that is imprinted on the animal’s skin with a hot iron. This technique has been used for centuries to identify animals, monitor their health, and facilitate disease control.

Early methods of branding often used heated stones or simple metal equipment. These methods left very basic marks. Over time, veterinarians started using iron brands featuring specialized symbols. The symbols reflected the ownership of animals and other necessary information.

However, modern branding uses controlled heat and specific designs for safe and less painful animal identification.

Today, veterinarians use different types of branding, such as:

Hot Iron Branding
Freeze Branding

Hot iron branding uses a heated metal brand to create marks on animals. On the other hand, freeze branding uses the latest techniques, like cold temperatures, to create marks.
