What microchips should be used?
On a long-term basis, Tennessee will adopt a microchip standard (currently 134.2 kHz) to be compliant with the recommendations offered by the equine species working group of the National Animal Identification Program. The program is designed to reduce the costs to horse owners when they choose microchipping as a form of official identification for their horse. Until 134.2 kHz microchips are readily available, co-payment will also be offered for 125 kHz microchips.
