Abstract:
This article presents an overview of long
acting products used in animal health, production
and reproduction. The topic represents a niche field
of controlled release that few formulation scientists
become specialists and experts in, but it is a field
which has made significant contribution to the area of
controlled release technology, and one which is of major
importance to human kind due to their dependence on
farmed animals as a source of hide, protein, milk and
eggs.
