Technology that transforms animal identification and care
Our microchips and devices combine identification, data, and monitoring, giving animal owners and caretakers real tools to enhance the safety and health of dogs, cats, horses, cattle, alpacas, and other species.
How does our technology work?
Every FARM Innovations microchip is more than just an identifier. It is part of an ecosystem that connects animal data with ARiMR databases, veterinary systems, and insurance programs.
Identification
The ICAR microchip provides clear and unambiguous animal identification.
Monitoring
Sensors measure body temperature and key health parameters.
Integration
Data is transmitted to systems that support decision-making for breeders and insurers.
Data that truly works for breeding
The microchip is only the beginning—the real value lies in what happens next with the data. We measure a wide range of health, welfare, and reproductive parameters.
Herd health
Early disease detection
Continuous temperature and activity monitoring helps identify the first signs of health issues—before productivity declines.
Faster response to welfare-related issues
Fewer sudden losses and costly interventions
More effective use of preventive care
Management
Better production and breeding planning
You combine microchip data with production performance results. This allows you to identify trends and plan breeding, dry-off periods, and culling based on facts.
Comparison of animal groups and barns
Complete history of each animal in one place
Greater production predictability
Insurance
Data-driven financial protection
Herd health and welfare parameters can serve as the foundation for risk models developed in cooperation with insurers.
Risk assessment based on real-time data
Opportunity for better policy terms when herd condition is strong
Greater financial security for the farm
International quality standard – ICAR
All our microchips are ICAR-certified—the international standard for animal identification. This ensures that Farm Innovations devices are fully compatible with veterinary systems and institutional regulations.
Technology designed for real-world use
Owners and breeders
Faster identification and herd control, fewer formalities, and better visibility of animal health data.
Veterinarians
Easier access to medical history and health data, supporting diagnostics and treatment planning.
Institutions and partners
Consistent data, fewer reporting errors, and full regulatory compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have compiled answers to the most common questions related to animal identification and working with FARM Innovations microchips.
How does a microchip work, and is it safe for animals?
A microchip is a passive RFID transponder—it has no battery or transmitter. It is activated only when scanned by a reader and is designed to remain in the tissue at the implantation site.
Where is animal data stored?
Only a unique identification number is stored in the microchip itself.
Detailed information about the animal is recorded in systems integrated with FARM Innovations, including ARiMR databases as well as veterinary and insurance systems.
Does microchipping need to be repeated?
A microchip is implanted only once. The identification number is permanently assigned to the animal for its entire lifetime and cannot be copied or altered.
How can the microchip number be read in practice?
A standard ICAR-compatible RFID reader is used for scanning. The identification number appears on the device screen and can then be automatically transmitted to the FARM Innovations system or other integrated systems.
