Abstract
Abstract Medicine for Horses & Dispenser Therefor Medicines for horses consist, for example, of pharmaceutical preparations and/or medicinal plant ac-tive ingredients which are mixed with an edible binder to form a substance solid at normal ambient temperatures and are shaped into a licking block. To develop the medicine further in such a manner that it can be admin-istered without problems and is easily digestible by the horses the binder contained in the substance formed into a licking block is a palatable mixture of sugar, glu-close, honey and salt. Such a substance is willingly accepted by all horses and can even be administered in relatively large amounts without detrimental effects.
A device for dispensing the licking block consists of at least one container open at the bottom in which the licking block can be fixed by means of a holding element such that it projects slightly from the lower opening of the container.

Description
L~
`~ 1 Medlcine _or Ho~ses & Dispenser _he efor The invention relates to a medicine for horses composed of pharmaceutical preparations and/or ~ct;ve ingredients of medicinal plants which are mixed with an S edible binder to form a substance solid at normal ambi-ent temperatures and are shaped into a licking block.
Medicines for horses are notmally available com-mercially in the form of drenches and powders. For ad-ministration they are admixed with the horses' feed or drinking water. This form of administration is labour-intensive for the grooms because the medicine has to be admixed with the feed or water in each case in a metered manner and for each individual sick horse. Moreover, th;s form of administration has the disadvantage that the taste of feed and water can be slightly tainted so that they are refused by the horses.
Attempts have therefore already been made to ad-mix certain medicaments with salt licks (German Offen-legungsschrift 2,649,133). This method has the disad-vantage, however, that the horses have to consumerelatively large amounts of salt if they are to be administered part;cular amounts of medicament. The an;mals are even encouraged to take in the salt by admixing organolept;c substances. However, th;s method has not been successful.
The invention is based on the object of provid-ing a medic;ne for horses ~h;ch can be administered without problems and is e3sily digestible by the horses.
This object is achieved, according to the ~$ .
~-~2~ ~4~
invention, ~here the binder contained in the substance, which is shaped into a licking block, is a palatable mixture of sugar, glucose~ honey and salt.
A substance of this type is willingly accepted by all horses and can even be administered in relatively large amounts without detrimental effects.
The substance preferably contains about 90 per-cent by ~eight of the binder and about 10 percent by -weight of medicinal plant active ingredients. Such a mixing ratio masks flavourings and odorous substances which the horse finds unpleasant and which are easily ingested together with the licking block. A binder which has been found to be particularly attractive to horses consists of about 57 % of sugar, 29 % of glucose, 4 % of honey and slightly less than 1 X of salt.
In the case of a licking block as a couyh remedy the substance preferably contains active ingredients of the following medicinal plants: marshmallo~, ivy, fennel, coltsfoot, cowslip, ripwort, thyme, pansy, lung-2û wort, sage, mallow, linden flowers, aniseed, menthol andelder.
A device for dispensing the medicine, present in the form of a licking block, is characterized by at least one container ~hich is open at the bottom and ;n which the licking block is fixed by means of a holding element such that it projects slightly from the lower opening. This device ensures that the horse takes in a particular amount of the licking block, that is only as much as it can reach with its tongue. As a result, exact 4~i dosing can be accomplished by suspending the l;cking block at a higher or lower level ;n the device. In any event, the device prevents the horse from acci-dentally consuming an overdose of the medicament con-tained in the licking block, since the horse can atbest reach that section of the licking block which pro-jects from the lower container opening.
The licking block preferably has an elongate, -essentially cylindrical shaPe, the holcling element being arranged axially relative to the cylindrical licking block and projecting over a short distance into the upper face end of the licking block. For such a licking block, the container of the device can be a pip~ fixable in a vertical arrangement, the inside diameter of which is greater than that of the lick;ng block.
The holding element can be elongate and flexible and is cast into the licking block. It is designed, for example, as a chain of metal links.
In order to be able to adjust the height of the Z0 licking block in a simple manner the upper edge of the pipe can have a slot into which the chain cast into the licking block can be hung, it being poSsible for each individual link to be hung in and thus to achieve a very f;ne and uncomplicated adjustment of the licking block. When the lower edge of the licking block has been consumed the chain is simply lifted out of the slot and the follo~ing link or the next or next but one link is hung in instead so that the licking block no~ hangs at a lower level by the length of one link or se~era~
~'7~4~i links.
The pipe used can be a section of a commercially available plastic pipe which is easier to process and - easy to maintain in use since it can be cleaned simply and does not corrode.
For the purPose of fixing, the pipe can be surr-ounded, at its lower end and at a distance above the latter, by one clip each, the clips being provided with a mounting by means of which the pipe can be fixed to a wall of the box or of the stall or to a vertical rod provided on the box front. A fixing mechanism of this type can be adapted to suit the particular localities and is easy to install. In particular, the clip provided at the lower end of the pipe which clip preferably con-sists of metal and covers the lower edge of the pipe,prevents the horse from crib-biting at the lower edge of the pipe.
The invention is illustrated by way of example in the drawing and described in detail below by refer-ZO ence to the drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is an exemplary embodiment of a l;cking blockin a dispensing device and Fig. 2 is a section along line II-II from Fig. 1.
The l;cking block 1 shown ;n the drawing con-sists of a mixture of various medicinal plants withwhich the horses' cough can be remedied. This mixture of medicinal plants is firmly incorporated into a binder which consists of sugar, glucose, honey and salt.
The licking block has a solid consistency at room 7i~
temperature so that it can be stored for a prolonged period under normal climatic conditions such as prevail in a stable, without changing its external shapr..

The invention is illustrated by way of example in the drawing and described in detail below by refer-ZO ence to the drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is an exemplary embodiment of a l;cking blockin a dispensing device and Fig. 2 is a section along line II-II from Fig. 1.
The l;cking block 1 shown ;n the drawing con-sists of a mixture of various medicinal plants withwhich the horses' cough can be remedied. This mixture of medicinal plants is firmly incorporated into a binder which consists of sugar, glucose, honey and salt.
The licking block has a solid consistency at room 7i~
temperature so that it can be stored for a prolonged period under normal climatic conditions such as prevail in a stable, without changing its external shapr..
The licking block 1 shown in the drawing has an elongate, cylindrical shape. The end piece of a chain
2 is cast into one end of the licking block 1. In the em-bodiment sho~n in the drawing the c~st-;n end consists of approximately four links 3 which lie approximately in the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical licking block 1 and are firmly enclosed by the latter. Thus, if~the end of the chain 2, facing away from the licking block is attached to a fixed point the licking block, with the longitudinal axis arranged vertically, hangs vertically downwards.
In order to prevent the horse from biting into the licking block and thus taking in an overdose of the cough remedy the licking block 1 is dispensed only in connection with a d;spensing device 4.
The dispensing device 4 consists of a section of a commercially available plastic pipe 5 the inside dia-meter of which ;s larger than the outside diameter of the licking block 1 so that the licking block 1 fits into the pipe 5.
The plastic pipe 5 is fixed in a vertical arran-gement at any point in a box or a stall. In the exemp-lary embodiment shown in the drawing the pipe 5 ;s firm-ly surrounded, at its lower end and at a distance away from its upper end, by one clip 6 or 7 each of stainless metal. The lower clip 6 is situated exactly at the level ~'7~
of the lo~er edge of the pipe S, so that the lower edge of the pipe is not accessible to the horse and can not, for example~ be cr;b-bitten. The two clips 6 and 7 are connected via short connecting ~ebs ~ with, in each S case, one split holding cla~p 9 ~hich can be placed, for example, around a vertical rod 10 and fixed to the latter by ~eans of screws 11.
Instead of the holding clamps 9, simple flat brackets can alternatively be provided and can be screwed, for example, to the wall of the bo~.
The upper edge of the plastic pipe S is provi-ded, above the clip 7, with a short vertical slot 12 ~hich i5 somewhat wider than the thickness of a link 3 of the chain 2 which is cast into the licking block 1.
The s~ot length 1s some~hat larger than the width of a link 3 so that the chain 2 can be hung into the slot 12 conveniently and safely.
When a fresh licking block 1 is suspended the latter is positioned in the plastic pipe so that only a short section of the licking block 1 projects from the lower end of the pipe 5. In this position only this lower end of the licking block 1 is accessible to the horse so that only this end can be consumed by the horse namely by simple licking, which at the same time ensures that the cough remedy can be gradually ingested by the horse over a prolonged period.
When the end of the licking block 1, which ini-tially projects from the botto~ of the pipe S, is con-sumed the licking block can, if required, be repositioned so that the licking block again projects slightly from the lower end of the pipe 5~ Repositioning of the lick-ing block 1 can be accomplished by simply lifting the-chain 2 out of the slot 12 and inserting another link 3 which is at a greater distance from the licking block 1 into the slot 12.
Readjusting the licking bloc~k 1 can be continued until it is completely used up. For this purpose the -length of the licking block 1, the length of the chain 2 ancl the height of the plastic pipe 5 are matched to one another. The licking block (1) is at most the same length as the plastic pipe S, preferably somewhat shorter however~ so that when it is hung in its uppermost position only a short section projects out of the pipe 5. The length of the chain 2 ;s chosen such that, ~hen the penultimate link is hung in, the re-maining end, which has not yet been consumed, of the - lick;ng block 1 projects from the bottom of the pipe 5 so that in its lowermost position the entire licking block can be consumed by the horse to be treated.
The device described can of course also be used for administering other licking blocks ~hich have a dif-ferent composition or a shape other than a cylinder.
In order to prevent the horse from biting into the licking block and thus taking in an overdose of the cough remedy the licking block 1 is dispensed only in connection with a d;spensing device 4.
The dispensing device 4 consists of a section of a commercially available plastic pipe 5 the inside dia-meter of which ;s larger than the outside diameter of the licking block 1 so that the licking block 1 fits into the pipe 5.

The lower clip 6 is situated exactly at the level ~'7~
of the lo~er edge of the pipe S, so that the lower edge of the pipe is not accessible to the horse and can not, for example~ be cr;b-bitten. The two clips 6 and 7 are connected via short connecting ~ebs ~ with, in each S case, one split holding cla~p 9 ~hich can be placed, for example, around a vertical rod 10 and fixed to the latter by ~eans of screws 11.
Instead of the holding clamps 9, simple flat brackets can alternatively be provided and can be screwed, for example, to the wall of the bo~.
The upper edge of the plastic pipe S is provi-ded, above the clip 7, with a short vertical slot 12 ~hich i5 somewhat wider than the thickness of a link 3 of the chain 2 which is cast into the licking block 1.
The s~ot length 1s some~hat larger than the width of a link 3 so that the chain 2 can be hung into the slot 12 conveniently and safely.
When a fresh licking block 1 is suspended the latter is positioned in the plastic pipe so that only a short section of the licking block 1 projects from the lower end of the pipe 5. In this position only this lower end of the licking block 1 is accessible to the horse so that only this end can be consumed by the horse namely by simple licking, which at the same time ensures that the cough remedy can be gradually ingested by the horse over a prolonged period.
