ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for use, for instance, as a rumen bolus is a generally cylindrical container (1) for material to be dispersed into the digestive tracts, etc. of a ruminant. The container has a closure (3) held in place by a controlled release glass (CRG) member (5). When this member is dissolved, the closure (3) comes out and the contents are released. The cylindrical container can be formed by a hole in a larger member which has several such holes so that different materials can be released, or materials released at different times.
Variants include stacked arrangements in which several dispenser compartments are coupled so that as one is emptied a CRG member is dissolved to release material in the next compartment.
In some cases the CRG member acts both as the release device, and as the closure for its compartment, and in others it also acts as a means of linking a number of detachable sections.
