Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2016 China donated 20,000 microchips for dogs to the Intendencia de Florida (Department of Florida). Uruguay's Committee on responsible ownership and animal welfare (Cotryba) has implemented the microchip system. The Intendencia de Florida experienced issues with the use of these microchips, because the Chinese company (unspecified in available sources) designated to manufacture the microchips provided 15-digit microchips, while the system in Uruguay required 23-digit microchips. In July 2017 Cotryba was in talks with the Chinese company to seek a resolution to this issue. On 23 May 2018 a request for information was extended to the Intendencia de Florida regarding whether or not the compatibility issue had been resolved. As of December 2019 the current status of this project is unclear.
