Description

"A Veterinary Composition"
The invention relates to a veterinary composition, particularly for the prophylaxis and treatment of mastitis in cows .
Bacterial infection via the teats of a cow is the most common cause of mastitis.
It is known to treat teats of a cow with a long acting antibiotic with effective cover only being provided whilst minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) levels of the antibiotic are maintained. This period of cover can vary from 4 to 10 weeks.
It is also known to provide a physical barrier in the teat canal to try to prevent the ingress of pathogens. One such system is described in UK 1,441,747 (Lazonby) .
One commercially available barrier system comprises a twin injector pack, one injector containing an antibiotic formulation and a second injector containing a barrier or seal formulation. The antibiotic formulation comprises penicillin salts and dihydrostreptomycin which is infused into the udder following the last lactation and before the cow is dried off. The seal formulation comprises a gel of aluminium stearate and liquid paraffin containing approximately 35% by weight of bismuth subnitrate. This is infused into the udder after the antibiotic formulation to seal the teat canal. This invention is therefore directed towards providing an improved veterinary composition for the prophylaxis and treatment of mastitis in dry cows.
According to the invention there is provided a veterinary composition comprising an antibacterial formulation, and a seal formulation, the seal formulation comprising a polyethylene gel.
In one embodiment of the invention the gel is based on low density polyethylene.
In another embodiment of the invention the gel is based on high density polyethylene.
Typically the gel includes a vehicle such as liquid paraffin.
In one embodiment of the invention a non-toxic heavy metal salt is present in the gel base. Preferably, the heavy metal salt is present in an amount of at least 40% by weight of the base, most preferably between 50% and 75%, especially 65% by weight.
Typically the heavy metal salt is bismuth subnitrate.
In one embodiment of the invention the antibacterial agent comprises an antibiotic in the form of a substantially insoluble salt in an aqueous suspension. Preferably, the antibiotic agent is a substantially insoluble salt of a synthetic penicillin such as cloxacillin benzathine.
Most preferably the antibiotic comprises cloxacillin ben≥athine. Preferably the antibiotic is in a micronised form having an average dimension of less than 25μ. Preferably a substantial proportion of the antibiotic has an average dimension of less than lOμ.
Preferably the composition is a unit dose. Typically the composition contain 600 mg of cloxacillin as cloxacillin benzathine.
In one arrangement the antibacterial agent is present in the gel base.
In another arrangement the antibacterial formulation and the seal formulation are separate.
The invention also provides a veterinary composition for use in the prophylaxis or treatment of mammary disorders in non-human animals during an animals' dry period.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The invention will be more clearly understood from the following description thereof given by way of example only.
EXAMPLE A
A veterinary composition comprising a first antibiotic - containing injector (1A) and a second seal-containing injector (2A) were prepared as follows: INJECTOR 1A

(4) Add and suspend Cloxacillin Benzathine and homogenise for 15 minutes.
(5) Bring to final weight with addition of further water for injection.
( 6 ) Fill 3.6g into intramammary injectors . - 5 -
This formulation is stable when subjected to extended storage periods in its proposed marketing container.
We have surprisingly found that cloxacillin benzathine in an aqueous base gives rapid absorption in a very short time period.
A number of studies have been conducted in dry cows to establish the following : -
Study 1: Bioavailability of cloxacillin in bovine colostrum following intramammary infusion of Injector 1A.
Study 2: Residues of cloxacillin in bovine colostrum following intramammary infusion of the first Injector 1A.
Study 3: Irritancy of aqueous cloxacillin in the bovine mammary gland.
The results can be summarised as follows .
INJECTOR 1A - Study 1
A total of 8 cows were infused with Injector 1A and drug levels were measured in colostrum for a period of 144 hours following infusion. A peak of 5233.4 μg/ml was seen one hour post infusion. This declined exponentially and no drug was detectable at 6 days post infusion. The results are presented graphically in Fig. 1. These results are precisely in line with the concept of a teat seal as described herein with a high initial peak effectively sterilizing the udder, with the second Injector providing a barrier to ingress of pathogens thereafter. This provides the advantages of reduced risk of drug residues both to the producer and consumer based upon a unique dry cow antibiotic profile.
Fig. 1 is a graphic representation of the results of this study.
Fig. 2 is a log transformation of the results of Fig. 1.
These graphs illustrate a linear decline in drug levels over time which is an ideal pharmacokinetic profile.
INJECTOR 1A - Study 2
Study 2 was conducted to specifically determine the end point for milk withholding. Animals were infused in each of four quarters with Injector 1A. Samples were taken every 24 hours and analysed for cloxacillin levels. Eight days after administration of the first Injector the levels of drug were below the acceptable maximum residue level for cloxacillin.
INJECTOR 1A - Study 3
This study involved an assessment of the irritancy of the aqueous cloxacillin formulation in the bovine udder. It was found that cloxacillin is mildly irritant in the bovine udder but has no effect on milk yield and the somatic cell count returns to normal 72 hours after infusion.
From these studies it can be concluded that cloxacillin in an aqueous suspension offers a safe and effective means of controlling mastitis in the dry cow and offers significant advantages over existing preparations especially with regard to consumer health and animal welfare. EXAMPLE B
A veterinary composition was prepared comprising a first antibiotic-containing injector having the same formulation as Injector 1A described above and a second seal injector 2B as described below.
INJECTOR TYPE 2B
Various gel based on liquid paraffin with polyethylene were prepared. Two grades of polyethylene were used in manufacturing the gels: low density (LDPE) and high density (HDPE). They differed in the degree of side chain branching but produced similar gels.

Ac = Acriflavin
YV = Yield value - (A measure of the relative fluidity of the gel. Low yield values indicate a more liquid gel) .
* = BSN was in micronised form.
Products 2B1 and 2B7 were considered appropriate candidates for use as test seals. An ideal teat seal should have the following characteristics:
1. It should be non-irritant to the bovine udder; 2. Persistence - the seal should remain in situ for the duration of the dry cow period;
3. Consistency - the seal should not break up within the udder;
4. Compatibility - the seal should be compatible with the antibiotic formulation used in association with it, either aqueous or oily;
5. Ease of Removal - at the end of the dry period, the seal should be easily removable for the udder and not give rise to persistent residues of either the seal or antibiotic.
Irritancy of the seals was the first characteristic to be assessed as any product which was irritant would have to be rejected irrespective of its performance against the other criteria. Irritancy was measured by conducting somatic cell counts in treated and untreated quarters of lactating cows and comparing these results by measuring area under the curve ratios using the following formula:
AUC Ratio = AUC of treated quarter AUC of untreated quarter

Formulations 2B1 and 2B5 were considered appropriate for further investigation. 2B6 and 2B7 (micronised Bismuth Subnitrate) were excluded on the basis of there being more irritant that the other formulas tested and having no significant advantages. Thus, it is concluded that PE-LP gels are viable candidates for sealing teats.
In vitro studies have shown that PE-LP gels have high tensile strengths for relatively low yield values. The merits of these two properties were studied by X-ray analysis of various PE-LP formulations in dry cows.
A series of studies were undertaken to optimise these parameters:
INJECTOR TYPE 2B - Study 1
Formulation Gel LP Ac. BSN Mass P YV former % % % % g gcm3 NM-2
2B3 3.1% PE 59.8 0.1 37 7.0 1.32 136.6 2B2 1.9% PE 61.0 0.1 37 7.0 1.32 40.0 2B31 3.1% PE 59.8 0.1 37 7.0 1.32 220.3 PE = Polyethylene LP = Liquid Paraffin AC = Acriflavin BSN= Bismuth Subnitrate P = Density
YV = Yield Value
2B31= Formulation is identical to 2B3. Gel was formed using different temperature profile, leading to different yield values.
Each of the test formulations was infused into quarters of dry cows. The effectiveness of sealing was measured by X- ray analysis. In addition to mass of seal recovered, % BSN recovered and the effective seal duration [ESD] were estimated.
Formulation ESD (days) Mass of Seal BSN recovered (%) recovered
2B3 47 . 3 ± 16 . 0 0.62 (8.81) 40.8
2B2 54 . 1 ± 10 . 4 3.00 (43.0) 40.0
2B31 49 . 0 ± 12 . 9 1.38 (19.7) 44.6
There was a direct correlation between the ESD and the mass of seal recovered for these products.
INJECTOR TYPE 2B - Study 2
The effect of the product volume and density was examined in another series of X-ray studies.
Formulation Gel LP Ac. BSN Mass P YV former % % % Ψc g/cm3 NM"2
2B8 1.7% PE 33.2 0.1 65 5.0 1.70 216.3
2B9 1.7% PE 33.2 0.1 65 10.0 1.70 216.3 The results of these studies are shown in table below:
Formulation Mass (g) * % BSN ** recovered (%) recovered
2B8 3.78 (75.6) 85.6 2B9 3.92 (39.2) 92.2
* Adjusted for water content
** % BSN were greater than in the previous study indicating a greater integrity of seal. As this trial was of a shorter duration than study 1, this may have been a contributing factor. However, increasing the density and reducing the volume had a clearly beneficial effect on the product performance.
INJECTOR TYPE 2B - Study 3
As it is intended to use the teat seal in conjunction with an antibiotic preparation this study looked at the effect of an aqueous and oily based antibiotic suspension on seal integrity over time. Additionally, the mass of seal was reduced to 3.5g to see if this could further enhance the seals effectiveness.
Products used are given in the table below:
Formulation Gel LP Ac. B BSSN Mass P YV Anti¬ former % % % % B g/cm3 NM"2 biotic
2B8 1.7% PE 33.2 0.1 65 3.5 1.70 216.3 Oily
2B9 1.7% PE 33.2 0.1 65 3.5 1.70 216.3 Aq. The products were then examined for their effective seal duration [ESD] .
Formulation ESD (days) Recovery of BSN BSN Recovery material (g) Recovery in fluid <* proportion ppm
B8 56.8 ± 13.9 0 0 1200
B9 60.3 ± 8.2 0.793 • 77.6 147
A combination of seal and a non aqueous based antibiotic offers a superior combination to seal and an oily based antibiotic. This can be deduced from the fact that the ESD's for the seal/aqueous combinations were significantly better than those for oily combinations. This is further evidenced by the high BSN recoveries (>75%) for the aqueous products, indicating retention of seal in situ. In contrast the amount of bismuth found in the fluid portion at parturition was far lower for the aqueous than the oily combination. This shows that there was a larger degree of dispersal of the seal into the udder with the oily combinations.
In conclusion, the use of polyethylene as a gelling agent in combination with heavy metal salts in a teat seal product in combination with an aqueous based antibiotic system provides a product with the desired properties as earlier outlined which should be efficacious in the treatment and prophylaxis of dry cow mastitis.
