Ensure compliant, permanent identification with the USDA 840-ID Official Microchip—trusted by professionals and approved for official USDA identification. Each chip begins with the United States country code “840,” making it fully compliant with USDA-APHIS and Scrapie regulations. Designed to last a lifetime, this microchip never needs replacing and provides reliable, readable identification you can count on.
Manufactured under strict quality standards, these high-performance microchips are certified by the USDA for accuracy, durability, and readability. They’re suitable for a wide range of animals, including equines, goats, sheep, alpaca, llama, elk, whitetail and other deer, as well as zoo animals that require an ICVI or official identification. Whether you manage a farm, ranch, or animal facility, this chip helps simplify recordkeeping and regulatory compliance.
Comfort matters, too. This advanced microchip uses a 15-gauge needle—smaller than traditional options—thanks to its tiny-but-mighty design. The result is less stress during implantation without sacrificing scan performance. Please note that USDA requirements apply: Flock and/or Premise ID verification is required before shipment. If you have questions, knowledgeable support is available to help guide you through the process.
