Delivery systems and devices for the controlled release of chemicals, including drugs, comprising a wall, formed in part at least, of a porous material, pores of which contain a hydrogel, said porous wall in contact with at least a portion of a reservoir comprised of a chemical and, if desired, a water-soluble liquid excipient and/or a detergent; process for preparation thereof, and use for the controlled release of chemicals, including drugs, to an aqueous liquid-containing environment. Emphasis is given to said systems and devices in which the porous material is a sintered plastic and gelled cellulose triacetate is the hydrogel, and to their use for controlled release of drugs to animals, especially to ruminants over prolonged periods of time.
