Essay / The advantages and disadvantages of microchipping - 1080
Have you ever lost an animal that was close to you, such as a cat or a dog, for a few hours or even a few days? Now imagine losing some of your livestock, which would cost you a lot of money if you lost them for a while, like a horse, a cow or even a goat, and how difficult it would be to see where they are. There are ways to determine where they are at any time and whether they are suffering from illnesses that could harm other animals or humans. Well, I certainly didn't know that until I discovered that you can put a microchip in your equine. It's crazy, right? Actually, it's not as crazy as you might think. I'm going to tell you about a specific method to determine where your equine is and if it is infected with a disease. Additionally, I will give you the basic information about microchip, microchip implantation procedure, side effects and pros and cons of this operation. The specific method used to determine where your equine is located and if it is suffering from any diseases. is a radio frequency identification chip or RFID. This type of microchip is an identification method that has been studied by the National Animal Identification System. It establishes a national system for identifying horses and their locations. These are also the same type of microchips used in dogs and cats. These microchips are cylinder-type devices implanted by a hypodermic needle. Microchips have four parts: a capacitor, an antenna, a connecting wire and a coating. They may seem too big to put in horses, but they are only the size of a small grain of rice. They are also battery-free and sealed in a biocompatible glass covered in a sheath that prevents migration, and they are made of...... middle of paper ...... and there will also be swelling at the of the implantation site and infections. It is possible that there will be an allergic reaction to the implanted microchip, it is possible to lose the microchip and have a detection failure. It is also open to human error: incorrect implantation technique, incorrect recording of horse or chip details, and careless scanning technique. Microchipping is also currently the responsibility of Trading Standards and Meat Hygiene Standards. Once a horse is microchipped, it is considered “tagged forever.” Now that you know about RFID microchipping, you no longer have to worry about the heartache and aggravation of trying to find your lost equine or other animals close to you.
