Patent Number: 5527531
Docket Number: 142287
Serial Number: 7691873
Date Patented: 06/18/1996
Agency:

Date Issued:

Abstract:
The invention is a delivery system for biologics and chemicals to free-roaming or wild animals, such racoons, dogs, or foxes without capture or physical restraint. The system offers an effective way to deliver vaccines, chemosterilants, repellents and toxiants. The biologic or chemical is placed in a water-proof ampule or capsule which is imbedded in a synthetic bait containing attractants and other additives on a polymeric support. The product stimulates the target species to chew sufficiently so the active agent will be expelled in the oralpharyngeal cavity, particularly against the buccal mucosa. The specific adaptations of the invention depend on the eating habits of the animal species targeted.
