Temperature-controlled semiochemical composition diffusers

#This application is the U.S. national phase of International Application No. PCT/EP2018/086781 filed Dec. 21, 2018 which designated the U.S. and claims priority to EP Patent Application No. 17209898.0 filed Dec. 22, 2017, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

#The present invention describes new formulations of semiochemical compounds for mammals in wick diffusers that are particularly effective for controlling the diffusion of several semiochemicals having different volatilities over long periods of time and independently of temperature and humidity conditions.

#The problem of appeasing animals, whether they are pets or livestock, is a significant problem which has been widely studied in the prior art. Indeed, the products used are of significant economic importance and owners have a need to combat unpleasant behavior and symptoms in domesticated animals, in particular dogs and/or cats, and, for livestock farmers, there is an economic importance in appeasing livestock animals in order to increase their productivity and their well-being.

#Thus, the present invention describes an animal pheromone formulation characterized in that comprises: a) a solvent of polyether or polyester type, b) an animal pheromone, c) a polymeric viscosifying agent.

#Such formulations of semiochemical compounds for mammals prove to be particularly effective in wick diffusers for controlling the diffusion of several semiochemicals having different volatilities over long periods of time and independently of the temperature and humidity conditions.

#According to one particular embodiment, the formulation comprises between 85 and 98% by weight of solvent of polyether or polyester type.
