Livestock Microchips: ICAR Certified Farm Animal RFID Solutions from DO RFID GROUP Factory
What Are Livestock Microchips & Why Do You Need Them?
Livestock microchips are small, implantable RFID devices used to assign unique, permanent identification codes to individual farm animals including cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry. These devices support end-to-end animal traceability, simplify regulatory compliance reporting, reduce theft and stock loss, and improve overall farm operational efficiency by streamlining health tracking, breeding management, and processing workflows. They eliminate duplicate identification errors common with external ear tags and deliver reliable performance for the full lifespan of most livestock species.

Frequency & Protocol Options (FDX-A/B/HDX)
Our 134.2 kHz base frequency is the global standard for livestock RFID applications. We offer microchips configured for FDX-A, FDX-B, and HDX protocols to match the reading infrastructure used on your farm or required by your regional regulatory body. Custom UHF variants are available for long-range reading use cases in large-scale feedlot operations.
Integrated Chip Models (EM4305, EM4100, ID, UHF)
We integrate a range of industry-standard chip models to suit different functionality requirements: EM4305 for read-write capability, EM4100 and ID for low-cost read-only applications, and UHF chips for extended reading distances up to several meters. All chip models undergo pre-production testing to ensure consistent performance.
Medical-Grade Materials & Size Variations
All microchips are encased in non-toxic, anti-migration medical grade bioglass that is fully biocompatible with farm animal tissue. We offer size options tailored to different livestock types, from smaller variants for poultry and young lambs to larger, more durable variants for mature cattle.
Lifespan & Environmental Durability
Each microchip has an average operational lifespan of 10 or more years, suitable for the full production cycle of most commercial livestock species. The sealed bioglass casing is resistant to corrosion, impact, and temperature fluctuations common in farm environments, ensuring reliable performance even under harsh operating conditions.

ISO 11784/11785 Compliance
All standard microchip variants are fully compliant with ISO 11784 (animal identification code structure) and ISO 11785 (technical performance standards for RFID animal identification devices), ensuring compatibility with all standard livestock RFID readers globally.
Implantation & Usage Guidelines
Our livestock microchips come pre-loaded in sterile, single-use syringes for simple, fast implantation. Recommended best practices include:
- Implant at the recommended site for each species: base of the ear for cattle and sheep, scruff of the neck for pigs, inner thigh for poultry
- Ensure implantation site is cleaned and disinfected prior to procedure to reduce infection risk
- Test read the microchip immediately after implantation to confirm functionality and record the unique identification code in your farm management system
- Dispose of used syringes in accordance with local medical waste regulations
