LifeChip microchips for horses are RFID systems which offer unique and unalterable identification for horses. The equine microchip is a passive transponder, each about the size of a grain of rice, programmed with a unique 15-digit identification number compatible with ISO Standards 11784 and 11785. Microchips are pre-loaded in syringes with an easy to inject 12-gauge needle inside a sterile pouch. Each LifeChip microchip is capped with a polymer sheath on one end called BioBond, which can help keep the microchip from migrating by favoring tissue adhesion. The 15-digit identification number can be read by universal or ISO compliant readers, including the Global Pocket Reader Plus (GPR+) and the HomeAgain microchip readers.
