Abstract: A method and packaging for both vaccinating and identifying an animal by implanting a solid dose medicament and an identifying electronic microchip in an animal. The solid dose medicament, or plurality of such medicaments, are each, preferably color-coded to identify a particular active ingredient, then packaged in a pellet magazine through which the doses are visible, and thereafter the pellets are implanted, usually subcutaneously, for example into the base of the ear or in the neck of an animal. The same system can be used for coded ballistic implants of identifying chips and medicaments.
