Bio-Thermo Microchip for Horses

Bio-Thermo microchips contain a patented built-in temperature biosensor, and are therefore able to measure a horse’s temperature at the implantation site. It is an easy, safe, and quick alternative method of taking multiple temperature measurements. Bio-Thermo microchips are RFID systems which offer unique and unalterable identification for horses. The 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 Bio-Thermo microchip is capped with a polymer sheath on one end called BioBond, which can help keep the microchip from migrating by favoring tissue adhesion. Microchip temperatures from Bio-Thermo microchips can be read by universal scanners Global Pocket Reader Plus (GPR+) or the HomeAgain microchip readers. When used in conjunction with the EquiTrace app, temperatures can be quickly recorded and monitored in an easy to read chart located directly within the app.
