title: Formulation and technology aspects of conrolled drug delivery in animals.
abstract: In the veterinary field, the development of new routes of administration or new delivery systems capable of controlling the release of drugs are of considerable interest. Because of the large number of food-producing animals and the unique problems associated with the administration of drugs to these animals, the potential markets are huge and will only be fully realized if improvements to old dosage forms lead to practical and effective formulations. This review intends to summarize the state of the art in the field of veterinary controlled and/or prolonged release systems.
