ARGENTINA GRANTS ECO MARKETING AUTHORISATIONS FOR AIVLOSIN® FOR
PIGS AND POULTRY
ECO Animal Health Group plc is pleased to announce that its
subsidiary ECO Argentina S.A (ECO) has received a number of
marketing authorisations for Aivlosin® from the Competent Authority
SENASA (Servicio Nacional de Sanidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria) in
the Republic of Argentina.
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.
These authorisations, which are for the use of Aivlosin® 625
mg/g water soluble granules for both pigs and poultry, allow ECO to
start selling Aivlosin® in the Republic of Argentina for the
medication of drinking water for the treatment of infections caused
by Mycoplasma in poultry laying eggs for human consumption, with a
zero day drug withdrawal period for eggs.
These new treatments meet all the latest guidelines for the
responsible use of antimicrobials. Importantly, with global
concerns about the use of antibiotics in food production animals,
Aivlosin® is administered under the control of veterinarians,
available by prescription only and has low, highly effective
therapeutic dose rates, a short treatment duration and a zero day
drug withholding period.
Peter Lawrence, Chairman of ECO, commented "We are extremely
pleased to receive these marketing authorisations for Aivlosin® in
Argentina, the third largest egg and second largest pork producing
country in South America."
