AHC Developing Universal Equine Microchip Look-Up Tool

News

The American Horse Council (AHC) is hoping to develop a universal equine microchip look-up tool.

A universal microchip look-up tool would provide a single source where the general public and various organizations and emergency response teams could find a horse’s identity or the registry with which the animal’s microchip number is associated.

“Technology and public opinion have finally aligned to allow microchipping to become an efficient aid when identifying horses,” said AHC President Julie Broadway. “Microchips are a safe and effective form of identity for sale, competition, or emergency response.
