More work must be done on some phases of the nose-print as a means of identification. The work done so far may be summarized as follows:

1.

No two animals have identical pattern and therefore a nose-print will enable positive identification.

2.

The taking of nose-prints is simple enough to be practical.

3.

It is possible to identify prints as being of the same or different animal even if they are not perfect.

4.

The pattern remains the same throughout life.

5.

It is practical for the identification of cows on official test and may prove valuable in connection with the registration of all solid color cattle.

6.
