     These major veterinary organisations have all been enthusiastically involved in the evolutionary process towards the establishment of the International Standard. They are anxious to ensure that the transition from the existing technology to that of the Standard is conducted as smoothly as possible.
     The main concern is that the existing base of microchipped animals is protected. To this end, they have strongly urged that current readers which cannot read microchips complying with the International Standard are exchanged by the companies that supplied them for multi-tag readers (capable of reading current microchips as well as those meeting the Standard).
     This will ensure that animals already microchipped will not be missed. Bayer has led the way in complying with this request, and has placed nearly 500 readers having this multitag capability in the rescue and retrieval network. The veterinary profession can be assured that the Tracer system can read not only its own microchip, but also the vast majority of those previously implanted.

     The correct implant site is of the utmost importance not only to allow future accurate scanning of the microchip, but also to ensure that the possibility of migration is kept to the absolute minimum.
     At present there are varying implant sites suggested for a range of animals which have been adopted in different countries. As this handbook is being compiled, the BSAVA are gathering information on implant sites from across Europe to evaluate the most effective sites to be adopted for future use.
     A number of criteria are being examined including any correlation between positioning of the microchip in relation to the incidence of migration.They are also taking note of the number of differing sites for any particular species.
     At present the recommendation for implant sites for Tracer microchips will conform to those already widely used in the UK. The recommendations are restricted to a few companion animals and appear to have proved satisfactory over the period in which they have been practised.
