DELIVEREY SYSTEM FOR APPLYING A TREATMENT MATERIAL TO ANIMALS

摘要

An applicator (10) for applying a treatment material to an animal comprising an elongated, flexible, resilient, hollow brace member (12) and an elongated, hollow swing element (14). These components are made of conventional CPVC pipe having an outside diameter of about 1.5875 cm. The brace member (12) is about 152.40 cm long and the swing element (14) is about 76.20 cm long. An end of the swing element (14) is swingably connected to an end of the brace member (12) using a piece of rope (16). The opposite ends of a plurality of brace members (12) are implanted in the ground in a predetermined plot (36) at an angle of about 60 DEG such that the swing elements 814) dangle from the upper ends 820) of the brace members (12). An insecticide gel (15) is applied to the outer surfaces of the swing elements (14) and brace members (12) and a feed for the animal is spread on the ground in the plot (36). When the animal feeds, the brace members (12) bend and the swing elements (14) swing around so as to spread the insecticide gel (15) all over the skin of the animal including its underside and lower leg areas.
