Why is there swine ear notching?
Ear notching in swine is used to identify the litter number and pig number in that litter. The pig's right ear is used to identify the litter number from 1 up to 161 and the pig's left ear is used for the pig's number within that litter. Each ear is broken up into sections from the base around to the top of the ear and numbered 1,3,9,27, and 81 on the litter ear and 1,3, and 9 on the pig ear. Each section can have no more than 2 notches in it and then they are added up on each ear to determine the numbers such as for litter number 113 there would be 5 notches in the right ear and for pig number 6 there would be 2 notches in the left ear. It is recorded like 113-6. It isn't practiced as much now as in the past since ear-tags and tattooing are more readily available.
