How do I get a temperature reading?

EquiTrace is the only app that connects to the new temperature-sensing horse microchips launched by Merck Animal Health.


Using a scanner, you can now take a horse's temperature by scanning the microchip.


Connect your scanner to EquiTrace and scan each horse.


EquiTrace records each horse's temperature on the horse's page.


How do I monitor temperature trends using EquiTrace?

You get a quick graph of all previous temperatures.


EquiTrace will show you spikes and changes in the temperature.


You will know if your horse is sick from this vital reading.


Compared to rectal temperature monitoring, you can read temperatures within seconds allowing you to monitor temperatures quicker and more frequently.


Once a temperature scan is recorded on EquiTrace with the Bio-Thermo microchips, EquiTrace will graph all temperatures to show trends within a horses baseline temperatures that are easy to interpret.
