Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A capsule for administration to a ruminant, comprises two body portions of magnesium or an alloy thereof, pivotally connected for movement between a relatively small cross-sectional configuration in which the capsule can be administered per os into the rumen, and a relatively larger cross-sectional configuration adopted within the rumen to resist regurgitation. The pivotal connection between the body portions is provided by a resiliently flexible material such as rubber or silicone made electrically conductive by means of a matrix of conductive particles, for example carbon particles. The flexible material at least partially covers a surface of each body portion. When the capsule is in the rumen the conductive particles act as a cathode and the body portions as anodes.
