Abstract: A seal formulation for forming a physical barrier in the teat canal of a non-human animal for prophylactically controlling infection of a mammary gland by a mastitis-causing organism comprises a polymer in a gel base wherein the polymer is a lower alkyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer or a salt derivative thereof. The lower alkyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer salt derivative may comprise at least one cationic ion including monovalent, bivalent or trivalent cations and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for treating or preventing or suppressing a disease or condition in a non-human animal. The method comprises the steps of providing a single delivery device containing two components for sequential delivery from the delivery device. A first component is delivered from the single delivery device into a teat canal of a non-human animal and subsequently the second component is delivered from the single delivery device into the teat canal. The components are delivered without substantial mixing of the components.

Abstract: An antiinfective-free formulation for prophylactic treatment of mastitis in dry cows comprises a seal formulation, having approximately 65% by weight of bismuth sub-nitrate in a gel based on aluminum stearate. The seal formulation is prepared by adding the bismuth sub-nitrate to the gel base in at least two separate stages.
