Trusted Pet and Animal Identification

Livestock management solutions aid in herd care processes optimizing productivity, helping ensure food safety and quality. The HID Glass Tag RFID family includes LF transponders effective for bolus use, as well as high performance tags for subcutaneous placement in horses or fish, or livestock ear tag placement for sheep and goats. Embeddable transponders can be housed in ear tags for custom form factors using various materials to create specialized LF tags. Innovative HID livestock ear tag products are fully interoperable with standardized components and systems.

Standard Glass Tag units are enclosed in biocompatible glass, making them harmless to animals. HID can also create a custom tag solution to fit application requirements for chip type, dimensions, programming and materials.

Standard units are enclosed in biocompatible glass, making them harmless to animals. An optional parylene coating improves and accelerates tissue adhesion, preventing the movement of subcutaneous implants. HID Glass Tag Ultra units deliver greater RFID tracking read range than any low frequency tags of comparable size.

Overview 

RFID Glass Tags for Animal ID

HID Glass RFID tags deliver consistent quality and reliability with patented direct-bonding technology that enables exceptional size-to-performance ratios.

Standard units are enclosed in biocompatible glass, making them harmless to animals. The optional parylene coating improves and accelerates tissue adhesion, preventing the movement of tags implanted subcutaneously into pets, fish or laboratory animals.

Larger Glass Tag transponders are ideal for cattle, sheep and goats. The tags help optimize livestock production and productivity through individualized lifecycle management, monitoring and feed control.

For tracking birds, small Glass RFID tags are embeddable in bird rings or bands.

HID Glass Tag Ultra transponders deliver greater read range than any low frequency tags of comparable size. The tags' improved read range reduces animal and system operator stress by increasing the distances between animals, reader equipment, and operators.

Injector manufacturers; ID and medical study database operators; and veterinary professionals trust and rely upon HID Global quality. Transponders implanted subcutaneously perform reliably over the long term, minimizing the potential for errors or traumatic tag removal and replacement. HID Global offers sizes to fit any animal, from fish and small mammals, to cats, dogs and horses. For tracking birds, small tags are embeddable in bird rings or bands.

Glass Tag RFID transponders help manage and safeguard companion, laboratory, and exotic animals. Durable small form factors with best-in-class read range performance has led veterinary professionals to trust Genuine HID™ quality animal identification transponders. HID Global offers sizes to fit any animal: from fish and small mammals, to cats, dogs and horses. For tracking of birds, small tags are embeddable in bird rings or bands.

With optional Programming on Demand™ services, HID Global offers secure, fast and flexible delivery of custom-programmed glass tags for animal identification with read-only or read-write capabilities. Offered with flexible volumes and delivery times, this program eliminates for customers the overhead and burden of programming tags before sale and use.

Pet & laboratory animal ID uniquely identifies each animal by an ear-tag or injected glass tag to comply with regulations, identify lost pets and safely return the pet to its owner and prevent research errors when handling laboratory animals.

Compliance & security of pets and lab animals

Secure identification of animals ensures the validity of research and identifies lost or stolen animals, aiding in their return. HID Global’s RFID Tag transponders record animals’ veterinary history, ensure proper care, and prevent the spread of disease.

Implanted subcutaneously, the transponders perform reliably over the long term, minimizing the potential for errors or traumatic tag removal and replacement. . This is an ideal solution in such cases as in the European Union, where chips are implanted under the skin of pets. This, coupled with an EU pet passport, permits travel of animals among EU member states without quarantine.

HID Global offers sizes to fit any animal, from fish and small mammals, to cats, dogs and horses. For tracking birds, small tags are embeddable in bird rings or bands. Durable small form factors with best-in-class read range performance has made HID Global’s animal identification transponders a top choice for veterinary professionals.

HID Global can create ideal RFID tag solutions or provide the electronics for the effective monitoring of any size or type of animal where identification is more optimally located within a band, tag or ring secured externally to the subject. Fully automated production processes ensure dependable attachment of the IC to the antenna for finished product reliability. Patented direct-bonding technology also enables more compact tag designs and optimized read ranges.

Overview 

Embeddable RFID Tags for Animal ID
Manufacturers can create powerful RFID tags for the effective monitoring of cattle, sheep, goats and other farm animals using transponders developed by HID Global. Fully automated HID production processes ensure consistent embeddable RFID component quality and reliability. Patented direct-bonding technology enables more compact tag designs and optimized read ranges, delivering exceptional size-to-performance ratios.

E-Unit Disc transponders are ideal for embedding in livestock ear tags and similar applications where a combination of visual and RFID reader solutions are desirable. Each disc can withstand the mechanical stresses of manufacturing and assembly, and deliver reliable field performance under harsh conditions.

E-Unit Rod transponders embed easily into space-restricted applications, such as small ovine ear tags, or subcutaneous enclosures.
