Described is an intra-mammary teat sealant and a corresponding method of forming a physical barrier in the teat canal of a non-human animal for prophylactic treatment of mammary disorders during the animal's dry period. The method includes the step of infusing a bismuth-free teat seal formulation into the teat canal of the animal. The method also prevents the formation of black spot defect in dairy products, especially cheddar cheese, made from the milk of animals so treated.

Described is an intra-mammary teat sealant and a corresponding method of forming a physical barrier in the teat canal of a non-human animal for prophylactic treatment of mammary disorders during the animal's dry period. The method includes the step of infusing a teat seal formulation including a metal salt in a glyceride-containing gel base into the teat canal of the animal. The method also prevents the formation of black spot defect in dairy products, especially cheddar cheese, made from the milk of animals so treated.

An article of manufacture comprises a) a squeezable bottle having an outlet, b) a plug in the bottle, the plug comprising an upper surface with a protruding nipple having a neck, and a top and an orifice communicating with a smooth tubular channel sized to permit a semi-solid formulation to be squeezed out of the bottle and through the channel and orifice without dislodging the cap, the neck of the nipple having a protruding height slightly greater than the thickness of a spoon, and the neck of the nipple and the flat upper surface forming a notch which engages with the edge of a spoon, the orifice forming a sharp intersection with the top of the nipple sufficient to cut flow of the formulation cleanly when pressure ceases, and the junction of the top of the nipple with the nipple neck having a bevel, and c) a child resistant cap to cover the orifice when the formulation is not in use, the cap sealing the orifice without abrading the nipple.

Zitzengummi zur Verwendung an einem Melkbecher eines Melkgeschirrs mit einem Kopfteil, an dem eine Dichtlippe vorgesehen ist, die eine Einführöffnung für eine Zitze bildet, einem Halterand zum Übergreifen einer Melkbecherhülse, einem mit dem Kopfteil in Verbindung stehenden Saugstutzen, sowie einem flächigen Zitzenauflageabschnitt, der an der an dem Kopfteil vorgesehenen Dichtlippe ausgebildet ist und die Einführöffnung definiert dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Zitzengummi ein Haftelement aufweist, das die Haftung zwischen Zitze und Zitzengummi verbessert ohne den Melkvorgang zu beeinträchtigen.

A method for preventing contamination of a teat during administration of a sealant comprises the steps of introducing/delivering a sterilising agent into the teat and subsequently delivering the sealant into the teat. A 0ealant injector (1), has a nozzle (3), with a removable protective cap (2). A sterilising agent (4) such as a bacteriocin is provided between the nozzle (3) and the contents of the sealant injector (1).

The present invention relates to veterinary or pharmaceutical formulations comprising one or more plant oils and bismuth subnitrate and methods for their manufacture and uses. The formulations are useful as a teat sealant to prevent or treat mastitis in an animal.

Envase para productos lácteos y similares, concretamente para productos líquidos o semi-líquidos destinados al consumo por parte de niños de corta edad, y de los que cuentan con un cuerpo de configuración y capacidad apropiadas, provisto de una embocadura de considerable diámetro, caracterizado porque como elemento de cierre incorpora una tetina adaptada a la embocadura del cuerpo del envase y fijada el mismo mediante adhesivo, termosoldadura o por cualquier otro medio, determinando un acoplamiento estanco, estando dicha tetina asistida por un elemento sellador que obtura el orificio de salida del producto, para hacer extensiva dicha estanqueidad al envase en su conjunto.

The present technology is a device for delivering a medicinal agent to a breastfeeding child. One embodiment comprises a first portion configured to be positioned on the breast during breastfeeding a second portion having an agent region and a sealing region. The agent region is configured to house the agent during breastfeeding and has a first cross- sectional area. The sealing region has a second cross-sectional area at least great enough to surround and engage a circumference of the nipple but less than the first cross-sectional area. When the device is positioned on the breast and the child is breastfeeding, the device is configured such that the nipple extends through the sealing region into the agent region and the portion of the delivery device at the sealing region contacts the nipple, thereby reducing or preventing the flow of breast milk and/or the agent through the sealing region to the first portion.
