Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
The method of controlling coccidia parasites in warm-blooded animals in need of treatment which consists of administering subcutaneously an implant comprised of an anti-coccidial ionophore selected from the group consisting of monensin, nigercin, grisorixin, disnerycin, salinomycin, 4-methylsalinomycin, lasalocid, salts and esters thereof, said implant supplying an amount of said ionophore to the blood stream of said animal sufficient to interfere with the life cycle of said parasite.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
67 words
The method of controlling coccidia parasites in warm-blooded animals in need of treatment which consists of administering subcutaneously an implant comprised of an anti-coccidial ionophore selected from the group consisting of monensin, nigercin, grisorixin, disnerycin, salinomycin, 4-methylsalinomycin, lasalocid, salts and esters thereof, said implant supplying an amount of said ionophore to the blood stream of said animal sufficient to interfere with the life cycle of said parasite.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the implant is an encapsulate of said ionophore.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said ionophore is embedded in a matrix.

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the ionophore is 4-methylsalinomycin.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the ionophore is monensin.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
58 words
A subcutaneous implant for warm-blooded animals comprised of an ionophore selected from the group consisting of monensin, nigercin, grisorixin, disnerycin, salinomycin, 4-methylsalinomycin, lasalocid, salts and esters thereof, said ionophore being present in a form which suitably releases said ionophore to the blood stream of said animal in amount sufficient to combat and control the development of coccidia parasites.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
58 words
A subcutaneous implant for warm-blooded animals comprised of an ionophore selected from the group consisting of monensin, nigercin, grisorixin, disnerycin, salinomycin, 4-methylsalinomycin, lasalocid, salts and esters thereof, said ionophore being present in a form which suitably releases said ionophore to the blood stream of said animal in amount sufficient to combat and control the development of coccidia parasites.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
10 words
The implant of claim 9 wherein the ionophore is salinomycin.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
10 words
The implant of claim 9 wherein the ionophore is 4-methylsalinomycin.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
10 words
The implant of claim 9 wherein the ionophore is monensin.
