LIFECHIP® for Equine and Alpaca/Llama
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Microtransponder System with Bio-Thermo® Technology
- LifeChip® 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.
- 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 specailly 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.
- LifeChip microchips are the only ISO-compliant and National Animal Identification System (NAIS) approved equine or camelid microchips on the market today.
- 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 oprional 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.
