For reducing the very extensive manual labour in connection with the production of pelts, there is disclosed an individual identification and transport system for use in the handling of killed furred animals and fur pelts, namely mink and mink pelts on mink farms, pelt processing plants, collection and sorting centres, auction houses, tanneries, and with other processing of pelts from furred animals, which is characterised in that it comprises an electronically readable data media (6) for individual identification data (ID-data) for an actual furred animal, and where the electronically readable data media (6) is integrated in a transport and handling arrangement (2) which is inserted through the nostrils of a relevant furred animal immediately after the furred animal has been killed, said transport and handling arrangement (2) constituting a part of a transport and handling system for transport and handling of furred animals and pelts, and which remains together with the pelt from the time at which it is inserted into the pelt until this is processed into furs. By the combination of the system according to the invention with empty ing/filling stations and computer-controlled sorting plants, it thus becomes possible to reduce the amount of manual work for the fur farmer as well as at the auction houses.
