	The rabies baits come in two different forms. Both baits have a "DO NOT DISTURB" warning and a toll-free number printed on them.


	Fishmeal Polymer

	This bait has a fishmeal outer shell for attracting the intended animal with the vaccine sachete tucked inside and held in by wax on both ends.


	Coated Sachet


	The bait is adhered to the sachet, eliminating size and weight to be shipped and disbursed more economically.
