Overview

Microchips (Subdermal RFID) offer an efficient, permanent, and tamper-proof identification method for pets and livestock. Implanted under the skin, these biocompatible RFID tags carry unique ID numbers readable by compatible scanners. This solution eliminates risks associated with lost visual tags or stolen animals, ensuring consistent traceability throughout an animal’s life.

At Animal Watch 365 Technologies, we offer advanced subdermal RFID microchips that align with both U.S. and Canadian traceability regulations, and seamlessly integrate into your digital livestock management systems. Headquartered in Houston, TX, our company leads the industry in secure, innovative, and reliable animal ID technologies that empower North American ranchers, breeders, veterinarians, and animal control professionals to operate smarter and with greater confidence.

Case Studies

A ranching co-op in Texas integrated subdermal microchips across over 2,000 head of cattle, reducing ID loss by 98%. Combined with digital health records and USDA reporting automation, the solution saved over 500 man-hours per season and improved compliance rates significantly

This public shelter transitioned from visual tags to RFID microchips for stray pet intakes. Scan-and-match capabilities dramatically reduced misidentification cases and shortened reunification times from days to under 12 hours in 84% of cases.

A network of dairy goat farms across Ontario deployed subdermal RFID chips to meet CCIA and provincial biosecurity standards. Combined with handheld RFID readers and traceability software, farmers improved lineage tracking, health monitoring, and milk production records while enhancing disease trace-back capabilities.
