·    Name - whose first letter is sequential from the Portuguese alphabet (without K, W and Y) corresponding to the year of birth and should not contain more than 24 letters, signs or white spaces, to allow a correct computer processing.

1.2 PADDING BY VETERINARIAN

The veterinarian collects a sample of 10 ml of blood in EDTA K3 tube, identified with a sticker provided by National Equine Registration. The corresponding sticker is affixed to the biological sample tracking Document DECLARATION of BIRTH, where he declares:

·    If the colt was seen "behind the mother"

Traditionally, equines are fire branded. Liquid nitrogen can also be used to cold markup, less practical and more costly method, and no less painful for the animal.
