ABSTRACT:
The device for insertion into a body cavity e.g. the rumen of an animal for example a cattle beast is in the form of a resilient helical coil with bio-degradable portions. The device is deformable to have a smaller dimension to enable insertion through a body passage into the animal cavity. The device carries a drug e.g. progesterone and is retained in the body cavity for a time during which the drug is active. After time has passed the device is broken up by bio-degrading activity into pieces small enough to be discharged naturally by the animal. An applicator is provided.
