Patent Images
1. A method of inoculating animals with an electronic identification microchip and at least one biologically active pellet comprising:
- providing an implant apparatus for implanting said chip and said pellet in an animal which can be operably coupled to a dosing magazine;
said dosing magazine comprising;
a series of loaded dosing pellet columns, each loaded with a microchip and a biologically active dosing pellet, said pellet being coded to represent a particular medicament; and
thereafter, implanting the chip and dosing pellet in an animal to be inoculated with a single injection.

Abstract
A method and packaging for both vaccinating and identifying an animal by implanting a solid dose medicament and an identifying electronic microchip in an animal. The solid dose medicament, or plurality of such medicaments, are each, preferably color-coded to identify a particular active ingredient, then packaged in a pellet magazine through which the doses are visible, and thereafter the pellets are implanted, usually subcutaneously, for example into the base of the ear or in the neck of an animal. The same system can be used for coded ballistic implants of identifying chips and medicaments.
