Embodiment Construction

[0014]While the description here is given as a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to preferred embodiment. Rather, the invention is limited only by the defining limits of the claims, as opposed to any statements in the specification relating to the preferred embodiment.

[0015]A calf 10 is indicated for illustrative purposes of showing the working of the medicament implant system. A suitable solid dosing implanter 12 of known construction can be used. Such devices generally include a housing 14 with a pistol grip 16, a trigger 18, and a subcutaneous implant needle. The pellet implant magazine 22 is inserted into the implanter apparatus 12, and moves downwardly there-through as trigger 18 is pulled, unloading its biological or pharmaceutical dose through a needle as trigger 18 is pulled. This action forces the multiple doses through the bore of the needle (not depicted) attached to the implant apparatus 12, and into a subcuta...

Abstract

A method and packaging for vaccinating or medicating an animal by implanting a solid dose medicament in an animal. The solid dose medicament, or plurality of such medicaments, are each 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, into the base of the ear or in the neck of an animal. The same system can be used for colored ballistic implants.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to inoculation of living animals, usually livestock or wildlife, with biologically active solid dose pellets. They may be administered subcutaneously as implants, or ballistically as a projectile.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Pellet implant systems which administer hormonal medicaments subcutaneously are known. Typically, they use a dosing gun to administer a series of pharmaceutical pellet implants, usually to the ear of an animal to provide sustained release of medicament. A dosing gun or implanter usually incorporates pellet magazines containing multiple doses of pharmaceutical pellets which are inserted subcutaneously into the ear tissue with an associated injection needle. The magazine channels are loaded with a series of identical pharmaceutical pellets for administration at the same injection site.[0003]Implant technology, that is to say, procedures involving subcutaneous implants of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, ar...
