Available with Bio-Thermo Technology!

• LifeChip® or LifeChip with Bio-Thermo Technology Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) microchips offer a unique and unalterable means of identifying horses, ponies, alpacas and llamas of all ages and sizes.
• LifeChip microchips, each about the size of a grain of rice, contain a passive transponder programmed with a unique 15 digit ISO-compliant number. Once in place, these microchips can be read by any Destron Fearing or ISO-compliant reader. (We recommend the Destron DTR4 or the Destron Pocket Reader - either one will also give a temperature reading from Bio-Thermo chips.)
• Veterinarians subcutaneously administer the microchip in the neck of horses or in the poll of the head of alpacas/llamas with the help of a specially designed, single-use syringe.
• Numbers can then be registered in each animal's breed or animal type registry or kept in farm/ranch files for future reference.
• Microchips provide proof of ownership in the event your horse, alpaca or llama is lost or stolen, as well as proof of identity for animals equine or camelids involved in breeding operations, competetive sports or international/domestic travel.
• Each LifeChip Microchip is capped with a patented, bio-compatible material called BioBond®, which secures the microchip to the administration site within 24 hours of placement.
• With optional Bio-Thermo® technology, LifeChip microchips can provide a quick and reliable reading of the animal's body temperature.
• Horses of all ages, sizes and breeds can receive a LifeChip. Foals can receive a microchip at the time of their neonatal examination.

BIO-THERMO: EXCLUSIVE TO DESTRON FEARING

• LifeChip microchips with Bio-Thermo technology give owners, breeders and veterinarians a quick and easy way to check a horse's/alpaca's, or llama's temperature.
• To best utilize this technology, create a profile of the animal's normal temperature range by taking rectal and Bio-Thermo temperature readings under different circumstances (e.g., at rest and during travel, exercise, breeding cycles, pregancy and lactation).
• Consistent variations in the two readings can be identified as normal for that individual and cataloged for future reference.
