Abstract

Implantacija mikročipova kod kućnih ljubimaca u današnje vrijeme je najčešće korištena,
najosjetljivija i najspecifičnija metoda označavanja i identifikacije. Mikročip je pasivni
elektronički uređaj koji nakon skeniranja šalje signal čitaču mikročipa na čijem se ekranu zatim
pojavljuje jedinstveni 15-znamenkasti broj. U Republici Hrvatskoj zakonom je propisano
mikročipiranje svih pasa u dobi od 3 mjeseca, a mikročip se mora aplicirati u lijevu stranu vrata, u
potkožje. Neke zabilježene nuspojave koje se mogu javiti prilikom implantacije mikročipa su:
nestručna implantacija, nastanak novotvorevina, mikročipiranje s više mikročipova, prestanak rada
mikročipa i njegovo oštećenje te migracija mikročipa. U ovom istraživanju provedena je analiza
dostupnih podataka o migraciji mikročipova. Analizom podataka 999 slučajeva, pronađeno je 188
(18,6%) pasa sa migracijom mikročipa. Najzastupljenija regija migracije je antebrahijalna regija, s
učestalošću od 27,7%, dok je najmanje migracija zabilježeno u antebrahijalnu regiju (1,6%).
Pasmine sa većom učestalosti bile su belgijski ovčar malinois i njemački ovčar. S obzirom na spol,
dob, veličinu pasa i gojno stanje dobiveni su rezultati koji ne pokazuju značajne razlike između
skupina. Dobiveni rezultati u skladu su s dosada poznatim oskudnim podacima. Iako rezultati ne
pokazuju statistički značajne razlike po mnogim kriterijima, smatramo ovo istraživanje znatnim
doprinosom u uvid u učestalost i mogućnosti migracija čipova u pasa.

Abstract (english)

Implantation of microchips in pet animals nowadays is the most commonly used, most
sensitive and most specific method of marking and identification. A microchip is a passive
electronic device that, after scanning, sends a signal to the microchip reader, whose displays a
unique 15-digit number code. In the Republic of Croatia, the law requires microchipping of all
dogs at the age of 3 months, and the microchip should be applied to the left side of the neck,
under the skin. Some recorded side effects that may occur during microchip implantation are:
unprofessional implantation, formation of neoplasms, microchipping with multiple microchips,
microchip failure and damage, and microchip migration. In this research, an analysis of the
available data on the migration of microchips was carried out. By analyzing the data of 999
cases, 188 (18.6%) dogs with microchip migration were found. The most common region of
migration is the antebrachial region, with a frequency of 27.7%, while the least amount of
migration was recorded in the antebrachial region (1.6%). The breeds with a higher frequency
were the Belgian Malinois and the German Shepherd. Regarding to the sex, age, size of the
dogs and body conditions, the results showed no significant differences between the groups.
The obtained results are in accordance with the data known so far. Although the results do not
show statistically significant differences according to many criteria, we consider this research
a significant contribution to insight into the frequency and possibilities of chip migration in
dogs.
