Single Administration, Multi-Dose, Multi-Therapeutic Capable Delivery Platform for Veterinary Applications

This platform technology introduces a novel system for controlled delivery of therapeutic, prophylactic, diagnostic, or identifying agents to livestock using modified ear tags. The tags, pressed into the animal's ear, release encapsulated agents through microneedles, eliminating the need for traditional needle injections and addressing challenges related to stress, logistics, and compliance in veterinary vaccine administration. The invention provides a single-use, refrigeration-free, and stress-free solution, aiming to improve immunization compliance, animal health, and operational efficiency in livestock management.
