Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of controlled drug delivery system designs which exist in the veterinary literature and reviews details of the mathematical models for the description of drug release from such systems. The aim of the chapter is to describe models that aid in the understanding of drug release from veterinary drug delivery systems and to highlight how knowledge of the mechanism of release can be used to optimize such delivery systems. This chapter briefly describes the design principles of various veterinary drug delivery systems. It describes the mechanism of release, defines the physical model for drug release, and details the kinetics of drug release from such delivery systems. Overall, the chapter demonstrates how an insight into the mechanism of release of drugs from controlled delivery systems will aid their design, development, and optimization.
