Design
The design and shape of the Ruminal bolus is due to the invention patent of it. Therefore, all manufacturers should comply with a unique design.
Packaging
The Ruminal boluses are in packs of 50 units, put vertically, ready to use, in pack of poliexpan that can support vibrations and it can absorb knocks.
Each pack has a diskette containing the following information; codes of microchips, lot, pack and packing day.
Reading distance
The reading distance of the Ruminal bolus depends on different factors. But, the most important one is the reader itself. The distances specified in this point refer to the use of Felixcan dynamic reader “Centurion”.
The configuration of this reader allows several geometries because 1 or 2 antennae can be connected. The most usual configuration would be to put one or two antennae, vertically, in the corridor where animals go through.
It is important not to forget that ISO 11784/11785 technologies are NOT anticrash. So, if there is more than one transponder along the chute, the reading will be failed. So, it is recommended that the width of the antenna is as tighter as possible to the animal’s size in order to oblige them to go one by one.
In optimums conditions, where there are not interference sources, the maximum reading distances are the following ones:
- 1 antenna of 60×60cm. + Then 60cm.
- 2 antennae of 60×60cm making a corridor + than 90cm.
These reading distances maintain constantly with a speed of 1 meter/second Applicator




The Pocket Reader EX microchip scanner was created to provide animal shelters and clinics in the United States with a reader that could consistently read microchips from various manufacturers. The Pocket Reader EX had the best overall results in a comprehensive, industry-wide field test conducted by the American Humane Association to evaluate the performance of universal microchip scanners. The Pocket Reader EX is recommended for scanning Horses and larger animals.
