ECO RECEIVES CANADIAN MARKETING AUTHORISATION FOR AIVLOSIN® FOR
SWINE RESPIRATORY DISEASE
ECO Animal Health Group plc is pleased to announce that its
subsidiary ECO Animal Health Limited (ECO) has received a marketing
authorisation for Aivlosin® in Canada from the Veterinary Drugs
Directorate of Health Canada.
Aivlosin®, ECO's patented antimicrobial, is used for the
treatment of a variety of economically important respiratory and
enteric (gut) diseases in pigs and poultry.
This authorisation is for the use of Aivlosin® 625 mg/g water
soluble granules for swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated
with Haemophilus parasuis, Pasteurella multocida, and Streptococcus
suis, three important bacterial respiratory pathogens of swine.
This new treatment meets all the guidelines for the responsible
use of antimicrobials. Importantly, with global concerns about the
use of antibiotics in food production animals, this treatment is
under the control of veterinarians, is available under prescription
only and has a low, highly effective therapeutic dose rate, short
treatment duration and a zero day drug withholding period.
The product will be marketed through Pharmgate Animal Health
Canada Inc. our well-established sales and marketing joint venture
formed in 2010 with Pharmgate LLC, the majority-owned U.S.
subsidiary of Jinhe Biotechnology Co. Ltd. in China.
Peter Lawrence, Chairman of ECO, commented "We are extremely
pleased to receive this second marketing authorisation for the
Aivlosin® water soluble granules formulation in Canada, the seventh
largest pork producing country in the world. The swine respiratory
disease segment is a key one and this latest approval demonstrates
ECO's continued progress to becoming a major force in the
international market for veterinary pharmaceutical products."
