Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for supporting the oral introduction of medication and or food or nutritional supplements into animal bodies in particular.
- the object of the invention is derived to propose a method and a device which enables the oral introduction of medication into the animals in a simple manner.
- the solution to the problem is that medicaments or foodstuffs, which are often in powder form, dry, liquid or oily, are introduced into a capsule-shaped container.
- the capsule is in two parts, the two parts being separably connected to one another. Alternatively, the capsules are made in one piece and have a closable opening.
- the capsule-shaped container itself is insoluble in the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted naturally; the container is advantageously made of a plastic or a metal which is at least partially provided with a ferromagnetic substance or with a ferromagnetic metal. In this way, the two-part capsule itself can be ferromagnetic.
- Some drugs can also be prepared as a mixture with a ferromagnetic metal powder or a ferromagnetic ceramic powder and introduced into the capsule-shaped container; in this case, no special ferromagnetic property of the capsule is required. Due to this ferromagnetic property, the capsule can now be held or even guided from the outside by means of a magnetic device.
- the two parts of the capsule mentioned are advantageously connected to one another by a plug-in or an articulated connection. The separation point or the opening of the capsule is held together with a gelatinizing agent so that the contents of the container are dispensed prematurely.
- the capsule-shaped container opens under the influence of the body temperature and / or the moisture only in the animal body after the intended time, namely when the gelatin-like agent has been soaked by moisture and possibly liquefied by the body temperature.
- This also applies to the one-piece container, the opening of which is closed by means of such a cover which can be detached in a moist and possibly body-warm environment.
- the capsule-shaped container is filled with the medication or the food (supplement), at the factory or afterwards; its two parts are glued with the aid of an agent that dissolves in a certain time due to moisture and / or body temperature.
- This application container filled in this way can be stored (possibly - as with gelatin capsules - at a reduced temperature).
- the container is rounded on all sides so that it can slide freely through the gastrointestinal tract and injuries caused by sharp-edged areas are avoided.
- the animal's mouth is only slightly opened and the capsule-shaped container filled with medication is inserted.
- a relatively thin stick for example a plant part, can be inserted into a designated place on the capsule.
- the animals often react aggressively and try to interrupt this process; the container separates from the stick in the area of the mouth so that the animals can try to spit it out.
- the capsule-shaped container which is at least partially ferromagnetic, is grasped and fixed by the magnetic field of a magnetic device held on the outside of the animal. This magnet device is held in the mouth area on the surface of the animal's head, which the animal hardly affected.
- This magnet device holds the capsule-shaped container within the animal body in the pulling area of its magnetic field, so the location of the capsule-shaped container in the body of the animal can be determined or controlled from the outside in a controllable manner.
- the capsule-shaped container can also be guided precisely in the body of the animal without the animal being able to fend it off; for example, the container can be prevented from remaining in the rumen of ruminants, since it can be guided past it into the rennet stomach using the magnet guided from the outside. The same applies to birds, here it can be prevented that the container remains in the crop.
- the magnet device is advantageously an electromagnetic portable device whose magnetic field strength is infinitely adjustable via the current strength. If this method is used in small animals such as mice, cats or other animals of the same size, excessively extensive magnetic fields are not required, so that magnetic devices with a lower magnetic flux can be used here than in larger animals. like cows or horses and the like.
- the magnetic flux and thus the field strength of the electromagnet, and thus the range of action on the capsule can be set by a controller which is advantageously designed as a button or as a slide switch and acts on the current strength. The user can, for example, estimate the distance of the capsule-shaped container to the magnet and set the current strength so that the magnetic field size suitable for this distance is given.
- the magnet device is made smooth for unhindered guidance on the animal body in its contact area with the animal body and is somewhat rounded outwards. Exceeding the magnetic field size increases the force acting on the container with which it is pressed against the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract; however, this has no negative consequences, since the surface of the capsule-shaped container is rounded and smooth and injuries can be excluded. With this method, animals that refuse to eat, or to which nutritional supplements have to be added, are fed relatively easily or receive medical care in the event of illness.
- Fig. 01 A perspective view of a capsule-shaped container
- Fig. 02 A magnetic device.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a capsule-shaped container 1 which is advantageously provided with two container parts 2 and 3.
- the containers 2 and 3 are connected to one another by a plug connection and can be closed after being filled with medication or food or nutritional supplements.
- the sealing of the capsule-shaped container can be done by applying a sticky mass 4 e.g. Gelatin or a similar agent can be ensured in such a way that the connecting means 4 is released only after a certain time in which the container is in an environment determined by moisture and possibly at body temperature.
- the capsule-shaped container 1 is made in its overall shape so that no injury is caused even with a strong friction on the mucous membrane in the inner body.
- the connection point 5 allows the insertion of a stick as an insertion aid, as shown in the description.
- the 02 shows a magnet device 10.
- a current not shown in more detail
- the strength of the magnetic field can be adjusted by means of a key 12, since the magnetic field in large animals must have a greater strength than in small animals.
- the magnetic device 10 is electrically connected via the connecting cable 13 supplied and can be connected to the mains, a power supply unit or a rechargeable battery.
- the magnet device 10 can also be manufactured with a permanent magnet without connection to electrical current.
- the magnetic field size can only be changed if a soft iron shunt is provided, with which the magnetic field of the permanent magnet can be kept partially adjustable from the treatment area. Since this type of setting the magnetic field strength requires a permanent magnet designed for the maximum field strength, these magnet devices can preferably be used for small animals.
