Abstract: The immune response of an animal to a target immunogen may be enhanced by use of an adjuvant which includes low concentrations of killed cells of Mycobacterium avium subspecies avium in combination with mineral oil. The adjuvant may be used in vaccine compositions for the immunization of an animal against any target immunogen and is particularly preferred for use with immunocontraceptive vaccines such as GnRH immunocontraceptive vaccines conjugated with a Blue carrier protein.

Abstract: The dart delivery system is designed to be fired from a conventional shotgun. The dart body is enclosed within an outer casing of a shotgun shell. A needle with enclosed medication is connected to the dart body. A fragmentable tip is positioned at the end of the needle. In operation, when the shotgun shell is fired, the dart body and needle are propelled toward a target animal so that when the needle and fragmentable tip contact the skin of the animal, the tip fragments, the needle penetrates the skin, and the powdered, pelleted or lyophilized medication is expelled out the end of the needle and into the animal.

Abstract: The immune response of an animal to a target immunogen may be enhanced by use of a novel adjuvant which includes low concentrations of killed cells of Mycobacterium avium subspecies avium in combination with mineral oil. The adjuvant may be used in vaccine compositions for the immunization of an animal against any target immunogen, and is particularly preferred for use with immunocontraceptive vaccines such as GnRH and PZP immunocontraceptive vaccines.
