Abstract
In order to fulfill the requirements in terms of biological compatibility and mechanical stability, a transponder-holding case is provided as implant in animal breeding and keeping, which case consists of a first case section and a second case section made of a biologically compatible synthetic material, with the two case sections being designed for being detachably fastened at one another, preferably through a self-sealing and self-locking threaded joint, so as to form a hermetically sealed holding space for a transponder to be received therein. For an improvement of the position-retaining function in the animal body at least one of the case sections presents at least one formed-in portion on ist outside, and at least on the outside of one case section a receiving area is provided for a preferably laser-engraved identifier mark.
