Abstract
A live organism product wherein the organisms are in a dormant state and are suspended in a liquid carrier which is sufficiently devoid of moisture so that the organisms will remain in a dormant state for several months. The carrier is comprised of oil. The carrier may also include an absorbent. The product is stored and shipped in a plastic bag and is sprayed onto its target host or the like. The moisture and pH then activates the organisms.
Claims8
A method of forming a stabilized admixture, comprising the steps of:
- providing dormant viable bacteria;
- providing a liquid carrier which lacks sufficient moisture to hydrate dormant viable bacteria when the dormant viable bacteria are mixed therewith;
- heating the liquid carrier;
- providing a suspension agent;
- increasing the viscosity and suspension qualities of the liquid carrier by adding the suspension agent to the heated liquid carrier;
- forming a moisture barrier on the cells of the dormant viable bacteria by mixing the dormant viable bacteria into the liquid carrier and suspension agent admixture;
- and
- preventing the hydration of the dormant viable bacteria in the admixture for at least 7 to 12 months by placing the admixture into a moisture and ultraviolet retardant container.

A method of forming a stabilized admixture, comprising the steps of:
- providing live, dormant bacterial vaccine;
- providing a liquid carrier which lacks sufficient moisture to hydrate live, dormant bacterial vaccine when the vaccine is mixed therewith;
- heating the liquid carrier;
- providing a suspension agent;
- increasing the viscosity and suspension qualities of the liquid carrier by adding the suspension agent to the heated liquid carrier;
- and
- forming a moisture barrier on the cells of the vaccine by mixing the vaccine into the liquid carrier and suspension agent admixture so that the vaccine will not hydrate for at least 7 to 12 months or until applied to a target host.

A method of forming a stabilized admixture, comprising the steps of:
- providing live, dormant viral vaccine;
- providing a liquid carrier which lacks sufficient moisture to hydrate live, dormant viral vaccine when the live, dormant, viral vaccine is subsequently mixed with the liquid carrier;
- heating the liquid carrier;
- providing a suspension agent;
- increasing the viscosity and suspension qualities of the liquid carrier by adding the suspension agent to the heated liquid carrier;
- and
- forming a moisture barrier on the live, dormant, viral vaccine by mixing the live, dormant, viral vaccine into the liquid carrier and suspension agent admixture so that the live, dormant, viral vaccine will not hydrate for at least 7 to 12 months or until applied to a target host.
