The invention described is a bolus for the controlled release of a beneficial agent in the rumen of a ruminant animal. The bolus consists in a core containing a binder, solubilising agent, the beneficial agent to be released and, when required, a densifier. The core is coated with a wax coating preferably with an opening exposing a small part of the core to rumen juices. The core is gradually dissolved releasing the beneficial agent. As the core dissolves the wax coating crodes until the bolus disappears completely.
