Abstract: The present invention is directed to the administration of copper to an animal using a composition containing copper dextran. A method is described for increasing the copper levels in an animal by the administration of a composition containing copper dextran. A preferred method of administration is intra muscularly. The use of this composition has been found to both address copper deficiencies in an animal, particularly deer.

Abstract: Compositions for primarily addressing degenerative complaints, in particular joint related conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism, in which there may also be associated inflammation, are provided. Other potential uses are also discussed, as well as prophylactic and curative applications. Preferred embodiments incorporate green-lip mussel products (particularly GLME) with shark cartilage or chondroitin compounds, and plant and bark based antioxidants are employed in a number of embodiments.

Abstract: An edible dough is described for use in an oral delivery method for administering a medicament to an animal. The dough is comprised of flour, soluble fibre, either oil or water and an optional range of additional ingredients thus forming a dough that can be moulded around a medicament. A key improvement of the present invention dough is that it has extensibility characteristics that allow it to form a homogeneous mass with the medicament. As a result of the improved extensibility, it is very difficult for an animal to separate out the medicament from the dough thus allowing easy administration of medicaments such as pills and tablets to an animal.
