RFID Animal Microchips: ISO 11784/11785 Implantable Chips for Pets & Livestock – DO RFID GROUP
What Is an RFID Animal Microchip?
An RFID animal microchip is a small implantable identification device that uses 134.2 kHz low-frequency RFID technology to store a unique permanent identification code for individual animals. The device is designed for permanent, tamper-proof animal identification, supporting use cases ranging from lost pet recovery to livestock supply chain traceability, wildlife conservation, and laboratory animal monitoring. All units comply with global ISO 11784/11785 protocols to ensure cross-system compatibility worldwide.

Key Features & Benefits of Our Animal Microchips
Each RFID animal microchip is engineered to deliver reliable long-term performance for animal identification use cases, with features directly aligned to industry requirements:
- Biocompatible encapsulation eliminates risk of adverse tissue reaction, making the device safe for permanent implantation over the full lifespan of the animal.
- Global ISO compliance ensures the microchip is readable by all standard ISO 11784/11785 RFID readers across all regions, supporting cross-border animal movement tracking.
- Gamma sterilization prior to packaging allows immediate implantation without additional processing, reducing operational burden for veterinary and farm users.
- Non-editable 64-bit unique ID prevents tampering or duplication, ensuring reliable and accurate animal identification for traceability and ownership verification.
Industry Applications of RFID Animal Microchips
The RFID animal microchip supports a wide range of use cases across multiple sectors:
- Pet identification: Permanent ID for dogs, cats, and companion animals to support lost pet recovery and ownership verification.
- Livestock management: Traceability for cattle, sheep, pigs, and other farm animals to support food safety compliance, supply chain visibility, and herd health monitoring.
- Zoo and wildlife conservation: Tracking of captive and wild animal populations to support research, breeding program management, and anti-poaching efforts.
- Laboratory animal monitoring: Unique identification of research animals to support experimental tracking, compliance with research protocols, and data accuracy.

How to Implant RFID Animal Microchips (Guidelines)
Implantation of RFID animal microchips should only be performed by a trained veterinarian or certified professional, following these standard steps:
- Remove the pre-sterilized microchip from its sealed packaging, ensuring no damage to the implant or applicator.
- Restrain the animal properly to prevent sudden movement during the implantation procedure.
- Identify the standard implantation site for the animal species, typically the subcutaneous tissue between the shoulder blades for most companion and livestock animals.
- Clean the implantation site with an appropriate antiseptic solution prior to insertion.
- Insert the applicator needle at the correct angle and depth, then deploy the microchip into the subcutaneous tissue.
- Remove the applicator and apply gentle pressure to the implantation site to prevent bleeding.
- Scan the microchip with an ISO-compliant reader to confirm the unique ID is readable and recorded correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the RFID animal microchip last?
The microchip has no internal battery and is powered by the RFID reader during scanning, so it remains functional for the entire lifespan of the animal, with a rated service life of over 20 years.
Is the microchip compatible with all ISO 11784/11785 readers?
Yes, all units are fully compliant with ISO 11784/11785 protocols, so they are readable by any standard RFID reader that supports these global standards.
What is the lead time for bulk orders?
Standard bulk orders of non-customized microchips have a lead time of 3 to 7 working days. Customized orders have a lead time of 7 to 15 working days, depending on the scope of customization.
What customization options are available?
Available customization options include custom ID coding, branded packaging, tailored specification adjustments, and custom labeling for distribution clients.
Implementation Case Studies
Livestock Traceability Program for a Large Cattle Farm in Brazil
A 12,000 head cattle farm in Brazil deployed 15,000 DO RFID GROUP animal microchips to support full supply chain traceability for their beef production operation. The implementation reduced herd tracking time by 75% and ensured full compliance with Brazilian food safety traceability regulations, opening access to premium export markets for the farm.
Pet Identification Program for a National Veterinary Chain in the United States
A veterinary chain with 280 locations across the United States adopted DO RFID GROUP RFID animal microchips as their standard pet identification solution. The FDA 510(k) clearance of the microchips ensured compliance with US regulatory requirements, and bulk supply capability supported consistent stock availability across all locations at 20% lower procurement cost than their previous supplier.
