Identificazione Elettronica Intraperitoneale nel Capretto da Latte

The authors describe an innovative EID technique based on the application of a HDX injectable transponder (32,5 x 3,8 mm) in 47 sardinian suckling kids. The technique was experimented on 1-5 days old animals whose live weight ranged between 1,500 e 3,400 Kg. The trial aimed to verify: 1) the consequences of transponder application in vivo and post mortem; 2) the readability of the transponder; 3) the behavioural changes or clinical effects due to the presence of the transponder in abdomen cavity; 4) the recovery technique of the transponder after slaughtering. The readability of the transponder was evaluated in each animal using a portable reader immediately after his application and at 1d, 7d, 14d and 28d following as well as at the slaughtering. No changes in the health status and behaviour of animals was observed. The readability was 100% throughout controls performed in vivo as well as post mortem. The intraperitoneal electronic identification can represents an interesting method to improve the traceability of kids and meat.
