Abstract
The object of the invention consists in improving the applicability of capsules introduced under the animal's skin and containing a transponder, when tagging animals, especially pigs. This object has been achieved by providing the capsule (1, 6, 12, 16, 20) with a special sleeve (2, 7, 8, 13, 17, 21) which can be removable from the capsule. By means of the sleeve the capsule is anchored more securely in the body of the animal. By using the sleeve the capsule itself can be readily cleaned for further use in a new sleeve.
Description
Tagging device for tagging animals
An animal tagging system consists in that a small capsule containing an electronic chip is injected under the animal's skin. This capsule acts as a transponder, and its number can be read by a special instrument at a distance of several decimetres from the animal. The capsules are very expensive and there is a danger of their migrating within the body of the animal. They have therefore not come to be generally used for tagging pigs which are to be slaughtered.
By means of the present invention the capsule can be anchored more securely within the animal and the chances of being able to re-use the capsule are improved. In particular, this makes its application in pigs intended for slaughter more
economical.
The invention has the special characteristics specified in the Claims.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the Figures.

In Figs. 1 and 2 a capsule containing a transponder bears the reference number 1. This capsule may e.g. ultimately consi st of bioglass and be 12 mm long with a diameter of 2 mm. It has rounded ends. The capsule is introduced within a pipe or tube made of teflon. When it is not acted upon the tube has a diameter slightly smaller than the capsule. As a result, the capsule is located firmly within the tube in spite of the fact that the frictional coefficient of the tube is low and the surface of the glass capsule is hard and smooth. The thickness of the tube wall may be 0.5 mm. The tube is considerably longer than the capsule. At its ends the tube is conically chamfered, 3, with the apex of the cone facing inward. The ends are slit. Hence there are six tabs 4 at each end. which can be bent outward. A thin titanium wire 5 is secured to one tab of the sleeve.
Using a special tool, the capsule is introduced under the animal's skin in as such known manner, e.g. at the base of the ear. The tool comprises a round cannular tube containing the capsule with its sleeve. One way of positioning the tagging device (capsule plus sleeve) correctly is to insert the cannular tube slightly into the animal and hold it steady in relation to the animal, when the tagging device is expelled from the cannular tube by squeezing it out. Once the capsule has been fully released, the cannular tube is extracted from the animal. The cannular tube can also be inserted deeper into the animal, the tagging device being eiected from the cannular tube at the same time as the cannular tube is withdrawn in relation to the animal, in which case the tagging device does not move in relation to the animal during the latter movement. The outer end of wire 5 should protrude from the skin.
The wire can be so strong and so firmly secured to the sleeve that the sleeve with the capsule can be extracted from the body of the animal by means of the wire. The wire can also be very thin and only designed to make it easier to locate the tagging device during and for excision from the body of the animal. With a wire this is of course not at all necessary.
If the tagging device should exhibit a tendency to move
(migrate), tabs 4 are bent outward and inhibit movement.
During the initial period after the introduction, when the wound due to the cannula has not yet healed, the tagging device often tends to migrate outward along the same path by which it has entered.
Figs. 3, 4 and 5 illustrate another embodiment of a tagging device. In this case capsule 6 itself is entirely enclosed in a thin teflon film which is not reinforced. The film has been pressed so as to surround the capsule from all sides. The film consists of two parts 7 and 8 held together at the interface by glue. On the sides of the capsule the assembly face of the film forms two wings 9 and 10. The latter are perforated with a large number of holes 11. In Fig. 5 the wings have been folded towards the circular capsule and pressed tightly upon the latter. In this state the tagging device can be introduced into the animal's body in a round cannular tube. Within the body of the animal the wings can straighten out to some extent. The animal tissue grows together through the holes and anchors the tagging device, whereupon migration is prevented.
In Figs. 6 and 7 illustrating a third embodiment of a tagging device the capsule itself bears the reference number 12. A teflon film 13 reinforced with glass fibre and coated with adhesive glue has been folded about the capsule and joined so as to form a wing 14, the end of which is serrated. The serration is intended to ensure improved anchoring of the sleeve and hence of the capsule in the animal's body as a
result of tissue growing together. At its ends the sleeve is tubular, and the two annular edges 15 of the tube also prevent the device from migrating. Wing 14 may be folded prior to introduction into the animal's body, in the same way as shown in Fig. 5.
Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate a fourth embodiment of a tagging device. In this case the capsule itself bears the reference number 16. It is surrounded by an adhesive-coated teflon film 17 in several layers. Between the teflon film and the capsule there are two legs 18 and 19, the ends of which point outward when they are not acted upon. In the process of introduction they can however be pressed towards one another so as to enable introduction of the device into a cannular tube. The projecting ends of the legs prevent the device from migrating.
Figs. 10 and 11 illustrate a fifth embodiment of a tagging device. The capsule itself, the diameter of which amounts to 2.0 mm, bears the reference number 20. The capsule is
surrounded by a titanium sheet with a thickness of 0.1 mm, formed so as to constitute a tube 21. Within its inner
diameter the tube has a space somewhat smaller than that of the capsule. When the capsule is introduced, the tube expands slightly and is firmly located on the capsule subject to some tension. The two ends of the tube are slit so as to form eight tabs 22. In the untensioned state the latter point outward but can in opposition to their spring action be bent inward, thus making it possible to accommodate the device in a thin
cannular tube. In the Figures all eight tabs are shown
pointing outward. It is also possible to cause two tabs at either end to be bent inward so as to grip the two rounded ends of the capsule. There is no reason why the sleeve (tube) cannot be connected with the capsule by applying glue.
The surface of the capsule itself is hard and smooth, and it is therefore easy to clean the capsule.
One object of the invention is to prevent the smooth capsule from migrating out of the animal's body or further into the latter. Migration out of the body by the same path through which the tagging device has been introduced generally takes place directly after the introduction, before the wound is healed. Even though migration without a sleeve is quite rare, the sleeve can reduce the number of cases in which migration occurs to half, this alone is quite sufficient to justify a sleeve according to the invention.
The tagging device can be read at the slaughter-house, while it is still in the animal. When the tagging device is removed from the animal, e.g. by excision, the sleeve can protect the capsule itself against scratches. On a later occasion the capsule itself can be removed from the sleeve, Since the surface of the capsule is hard and smooth, it can be easily cleaned. After sterilisation it can be provided with, a new cheap sleeve. By re-using transponders, possibly many times, their application can become more economical.
A further object of the invention consists in the fact that if a wire is secured to the sleeve the tagging device can be more readily located and. as a result, more readily removed from the animal.
In addition to a transponder capsule, the sleeve may also contain a capsule which e.g. measures the animal's
temperature.
The sleeve may consist of a very thin tube entirely
surrounding the capsule, whereby the ends of the tube are welded flat. On its outside the tube may be provided with a tissue-compatible material.
The embodiments described and shown in the Figures are of course only examples, and the invention can be varied in many wavs within the scope of the claims.
