Permanent Animal ID Microchips: ICAR Certified RFID Solutions from DO RFID GROUP
1. What Are Permanent Animal ID Microchips?
Permanent animal ID microchips are implantable RFID tags engineered to provide tamper-proof, lifelong identification for animals. These chips are injected under the animal’s skin to support traceability, regulatory compliance, and ownership verification for livestock, companion pets, zoo animals, and shelter animals. DO RFID GROUP manufactures these chips with medical-grade materials and strict quality control processes to ensure reliable long-term performance.
2. Core Technical Specifications of Our Permanent Animal ID Chips
2.1 Frequency & Protocol Options (FDX-A/FDX-B/HDX)
All microchips operate at 134.2 kHz low-frequency RFID, with support for FDX-A, FDX-B, and HDX protocols to align with regional regulatory requirements and existing reader infrastructure.
2.2 Chip Model Compatibility
The microchips are compatible with EM4305, EM4100, ID, and UHF chip models to accommodate diverse functional requirements for different animal management programs.
2.3 Size Variations by Animal Type
Multiple size options are available per protocol, ranging from 1.4x8mm for small companion animals up to 4x34mm for large livestock and exotic species to ensure optimal comfort and readability.
2.4 Material & Lifespan
Each microchip is encased in medical-grade bioglass for biocompatibility and resistance to bodily fluids, with a rated lifespan of 10 or more years of continuous, maintenance-free operation.
3. Key Advantages of DO RFID GROUP’s Permanent Animal ID Microchips
Our microchips deliver distinct benefits for B2B users: they provide permanent, tamper-proof identification that cannot be altered or removed like external tags. The medical-grade biocompatible material eliminates risk of adverse reactions post-implantation. All products meet global animal ID standards for cross-border traceability and regulatory compliance. We offer a wide range of protocol and size options to suit every animal type and use case. As a direct factory supplier, we also provide flexible OEM/ODM customization to meet unique client requirements, plus pre-sterilized syringe packaging for easy, safe implantation.
4. Customization & OEM/ODM Services for Animal Microchips
4.1 Custom Size & Chip Configuration
We support custom size and chip model configurations to match specific use cases, from small form factors for feline and canine identification to larger, higher-read-range chips for cattle and equine management.
4.2 Bulk Order & Wholesale Supply
Our factory has large-scale production capacity to fulfill bulk orders of any size, with competitive wholesale pricing for livestock farms, veterinary clinics, government agencies, and animal product distributors.
4.3 Packaging & Labeling Customization
We offer custom packaging and labeling options, including branded syringes, custom barcoding, and pre-programmed unique ID codes to align with client brand guidelines and management system requirements.
5. Compliance & Global Certifications
5.1 ICAR Certification for Official Animal ID
All our permanent animal ID microchips hold ICAR certification, which is required for official national and international animal identification and traceability programs.
5.2 ISO 11784/11785 Standard Compliance
The chips fully comply with ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 global animal identification standards, ensuring compatibility with all standard RFID readers used in animal management worldwide.
6. How to Choose the Right Permanent Animal ID Chip
Selecting the appropriate chip depends on three core factors: first, animal type, with smaller 1.4x8mm to 2x12mm chips recommended for small pets and shelter animals, and larger 3x20mm to 4x34mm chips for livestock and exotic species. Second, local regulatory requirements, which dictate the required protocol (FDX-A, FDX-B, or HDX) and certification standards for your region. Third, your use case, including whether you require read/write functionality, custom ID coding, or specific packaging for veterinary or field use.

Implantation Guide
1. Prepare the pre-sterilized syringe provided with the microchip, and disinfect the implantation site on the animal. 2. Insert the needle under the animal’s skin at the recommended location (typically between the shoulder blades for companion animals, or the ear base for livestock). 3. Depress the syringe plunger to place the microchip under the skin, then remove the needle carefully. 4. Disinfect the implantation site post-procedure, and scan the chip to confirm successful installation. All syringes are factory-sealed and sterilized to eliminate risk of infection during use.

Can you pre-program custom IDs on the chips? Yes, we offer pre-programming of unique ID codes per client requirements, including alignment with existing animal management system formats.
How do I verify ICAR certification for your products? We provide official ICAR certification documentation with all orders, and certification details can be cross-checked through the global ICAR database.
Factory Manufacturing Process
All permanent animal ID microchips are produced in Class 100,000 clean-room facilities to ensure sterility and medical-grade quality. The production process includes automated chip assembly, bioglass encapsulation, performance testing, sterilization, and final quality inspection. Every batch of chips undergoes read range testing, biocompatibility checks, and protocol validation before shipment to ensure consistent performance.
Case Studies
Livestock Traceability Program, Southeast Asia: We supplied 500,000 FDX-B protocol 3x20mm microchips to a national livestock regulatory agency for cattle traceability, supporting compliance with regional import/export requirements and reducing livestock theft by 42% in the first year of implementation.
National Veterinary Chain, North America: We provided custom branded 1.4x8mm microchips for a 1,200-location veterinary chain, with pre-programmed IDs integrated with their customer management system to streamline pet registration and ownership verification.
