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.
Can be used in all equines, goats, sheep, alpaca, llama, elk, whitetail and other deer
