Load the implanter, following the instructions supplied with each implanter. Restrain the animal in a squeeze chute and head restraint to increase the speed of implantation and keep the handler safe.
Prepare the implant site by scrubbing the back of the ear with a clean piece of cotton, soaked in a topical germicidal solution. The full contents of one cartridge cell should be implanted beneath the skin on the back of the middle one-third of the ear. The location for needle insertion is a point toward the tip of the ear, at least 1 needle’s length away from the intended deposition site. Avoid injuring the large arteries, veins and cartilage of the ear.
With one hand, firmly grasp the ear. With the other hand, insert the needlepoint through the skin and ease forward on a lateral plane until the entire length of the needle is under the skin. Squeeze the trigger fully and withdraw the implant gun.
Clean the implanter needle with alcohol or a properly diluted germicidal solution prior to implanting the next animal.
