Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

  The present invention relates to a technique for formulating and formulating an animal attractant, and more particularly to a technique for formulating and formulating an olfactory sensory agent for animals in the elimination of excretion.

  In this technical field, repellents for eliminating animals have been actively developed. However, there are very few literatures on animal urination and defecation facilitation promoters as a result of investigations by the present inventors. Slightly detecting the composition technique of the inducer in relation to the urination behavior of cats, only Japanese translations of Japanese publication 10-513164 describing fatty acid, plant extracts such as Velieriana officinalis, and blending techniques containing trimethylamine as components. Absent. No literature was found on the formulation of animal products that add an aminocarbonyl compound, which is an ammonia sustained-release organic compound, and allantoin to ammonia or its salts, which is the technical configuration of the present invention.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  Demand for pets is increasing with the aging of the population, the aging of marriage, and the declining birthrate. In addition to cases where pets are raised outdoors, there are an increasing number of cases where pets such as dogs and cats are kept indoors. For indoor free-range keeping, pet urination and defecation are an important issue for keeping the room clean. It is necessary to teach a designated urination / defecation site such as a sandbox to the pets that have been kept as early as possible. In the past, pets who showed signs of excretion were taken to the excretion area each time, and if they were able to achieve excretion, they were treated with sputum. Although this is a candy by conditioning, it is difficult to say that it is a method that fully utilizes the physiological characteristics of pets.

  The present invention seeks to provide an animal product that is formulated as a formed product adsorbed on a solvent or carrier using ammonia or the like as a representative substance for marking as a main ingredient.

Embodiments of the Invention

  One embodiment of the animal making product of the present invention employs a water-soluble preparation. That is, water is mainly used as a solvent, and if necessary, a water-soluble solvent such as alcohol, acetone, glycols, glycerin, cellosolves and the like can be mixed.

  The water-soluble preparation of the present invention is sprayed to the excretion field of indoor domestic animals. Ammonia (contained as an ammonium salt) in a range that allows olfactory sensing to animals but does not cause olfactory discomfort to humans It is a preparation containing That is, in the liquid state, ammonia or ammonium salt is dissolved at a concentration that does not cause an unpleasant ammonia odor even if humans smell it directly at room temperature. In the experiments by the present inventors, it has been known that humans do not feel uncomfortable at a concentration of about several hundred ppm of ammonia or an equivalent ammonium salt. Incidentally, it was also known that, when adsorbed on a dry carrier and formulated into a preparation, if the concentration of ammonia or the equivalent ammonium salt is about 100 ppm or less, no human discomfort is given. It was also known that when adsorbed on a wet carrier, no discomfort is felt even if the concentration of ammonia or an ammonium salt equivalent to the ammonia is about several hundred ppm or less.

  Ammonia may be added with a calculated amount of commercially available aqueous ammonia, and ammonium salt may be added with a salt with a weak acid such as ammonium carbonate or ammonium bicarbonate. As a modified method, basic components (caustic alkalis, alkaline earth metal hydroxides, (bi) alkali carbonates or earths) equivalent to the equivalents of ordinary ammonium salts (chlorides, sulfates, carboxylates, phosphates, etc.) A metal salt or the like) can also be used as an ammonia source.

  The aqueous solution is preferably adjusted to be neutral or weakly alkaline in order to facilitate the generation of ammonia and reduce the risk of use. At this time, the technique of stabilizing the pH by setting the liquid agent as a buffer solution is a general-purpose technique in the field of aqueous chemical liquid chemicals and can be easily realized.

の構造を有するアミノカルボニル化合物を添加する。ここに、Ｒはアミノ、低級アルキル１級アミノ、低級アルキル２級アミノ、低級アルキルオキシ、低級アルケニルオキシ、アリルオキシ、アリルアルキルオキシを示す。アリルとしては無置換、ないしは低級アルキル、ヒドロキシ、低級アルコキシ、アミノもしくはモノもしくはジ低級アルキルアミノ、ハロゲン等の置換基を有するフェニル、ナフチル等、アリルアルキルとしては前述のアリル基を有するメチレン、エチレン、プロピレン（分枝構造を含む）等を示す。なお、添加物を非対称尿素化合物とする場合には加水分解により低級アルキルアミンも同時に発生するが、これらは糞便の微生物分解により発生する常態腐敗性揮発物質でありアンモニア同様、糞便を擬したマ−キング効果が期待できる。However, when ammonia or its salt is used and the solution is sprayed on the excretion site, the ammonia volatilizes quickly and the marking effect disappears rapidly when dried. In the present invention, an aminocarbonyl compound that gradually generates ammonia by hydrolysis is further added to conserve the effect. These are described as follows according to the chemical structural formula.
formula

[Wherein, R represents amino, lower alkyl primary amino, lower alkyl secondary amino, lower alkyloxy, lower alkenyloxy, allyloxy, allylalkyloxy]
An aminocarbonyl compound having the structure is added. Here, R represents amino, lower alkyl primary amino, lower alkyl secondary amino, lower alkyloxy, lower alkenyloxy, allyloxy, or allylalkyloxy. Allyl is unsubstituted or lower alkyl, hydroxy, lower alkoxy, amino or mono- or di-lower alkylamino, phenyl having a substituent such as halogen, naphthyl and the like, and allylalkyl is methylene having the above-mentioned allyl group, ethylene, Propylene (including branched structure) and the like are shown. When the additive is an asymmetric urea compound, lower alkylamines are simultaneously generated by hydrolysis, but these are normal rot volatile substances generated by microbial decomposition of feces and, like ammonia, a stool-like marker. A king effect can be expected.

  In another embodiment of the present invention, allantoin, which is a typical substance of nitrogenous excretion into mammalian urine, is added. Allantoin itself is a marking substance that simulates urine, and when it is hydrolyzed, it generates ammonia and can also be expected to function as a sustained-release ammonia generator.

  The room for excretion of animals such as dogs and cats indoors is a flat container with open tops, plant organic materials such as wood and paper scraps, inorganic powders and granules such as sand, clay, silica gel, zeolite, and charcoal, and water-absorbing synthetic resin It is usual to form an absorbent that is made up of granules and the like so as to adsorb the moisture of the excrement and dry it. When the liquid preparation for use in the present invention is sprayed in such an environment, ammonia is rapidly generated while being adsorbed by the absorbent and evaporated. In the case of a liquid preparation to which allantoin is added, allantoin is also transported to the absorbent surface and volatilizes with the evaporation of water, although the concentration is low. These are marking substances that symbolize the excrement of animals and contribute to the animal's ability to remember the excretion field by smell.

  In the present invention, the added aminocarbonyl compound or (and) allantoin is gradually hydrolyzed to enable the sustained volatilization of ammonia. This effect makes it possible to reduce the frequency of application of profitable products.

  Addition of bacteriostatic agents is allowed in order to avoid alterations such as mold and decay when stored for a long time at room temperature after opening the liquid preparation for animal products of the present invention. Examples of the bacteriostatic agent include lower alcohol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, acetone and the like.

  In order to make fashionable products, it is a conventional means for commercialization that liquids are filled manually or by spray filling with pressurized gas, or colored with pigments.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, a preparation in which the above-described components are adsorbed on a carrier can be prepared. Carriers include inorganic materials such as alumina, silica gel, zeolite, clay, gypsum, bentonite, diatomaceous earth, processed biomass such as wood chips, pulp, cellulose fiber, crab shell powder, rice straw powder, alginic acid, pullulan, (chemical modification) Containing water-soluble gelling agents such as starch, gum arabic, gellan gum, salmon, mannan, agar, carrageenan, CMC, pectin, funori, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylate, etc. Examples include formed products (plates, tablets, spheres, cubes, filaments, irregular shapes, sheet forming agents, etc.). Needless to say, the above carrier components can be mixed, and can be formulated into granules, pellets, and the like by extrusion, binder drying and the like by appropriate blending. If these formations are placed in the excretion field, the volatilization persistence of the active ingredient can be expected to be equivalent to or better than that of spraying the liquid. The carrier-adsorbing preparation of the present invention may have a dry specification or a wet specification. When the carrier has a water-soluble gel forming ability, it becomes easy to make it wet. Of course, in the embodiment of the animal-absorbing product of the carrier adsorption specification of the present invention, an appropriate amount of the component of the present invention is adsorbed to an existing pet excrement absorbing product and used as an animal excrement absorbing agent itself. Is included.
