The present invention provides compositions for delivering an active agent to an animal, comprising an active agent, a first coating, a second coating and a third coating. The active agent is coated with the first coating, the first coating is coated with the second coating, and the second coating is coated with the third coating. The active agent is in contact with the first coating, not the second or third coating. The first coating separates the active agent from the second coating while the second coating separates the first and third coatings. The first, second and third coatings are different from each other. Also provided are methods for making and using the compositions.本發明提供用於對動物輸送活性劑的組成物,其包括活性劑、第一塗層、第二塗層及第三塗層。活性劑塗覆有第一塗層,第一塗層塗覆有第二塗層,且第二塗層塗覆有第三塗層。活性劑與第一塗層接觸,不與第二塗層或第三塗層接觸。第一塗層將活性劑與第二塗層分離,同時第二塗層將第一塗層與第三塗層分離。第一塗層、第二塗層及第三塗層彼此不同。亦提供用於製備及使用所述組成物之方法。無
