ECO RECEIVES EUROPEAN MARKETING AUTHORISATION FOR AIVLOSIN® FOR BREEDING CHICKENS
ECO Animal Health Group plc (the “Group”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary ECO Animal Health Limited (ECO) has received a marketing authorisation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the use of Aivlosin® 625 mg/g Water Soluble Granules (WSG) in breeding chickens.
This approval allows ECO to market Aivlosin® 625 mg/g WSG in Europe for the treatment and metaphylaxis of respiratory infections caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum in breeding chickens producing eggs, for hatching broiler stock and for replacement layers.
Aivlosin®, ECO’s patented antimicrobial, is used under veterinary prescription for the treatment of a variety of economically important respiratory and enteric (gut) diseases in poultry and pigs.
Marc Loomes, CEO, commented: “The EU has five per cent of the world’s layer and ten per cent of the world’s broiler parent stock. This marketing authorisation is very significant as it provides an opportunity to roll out the approval beyond the EU into the multi-million dollar large international poultry markets. This will enable ECO to capitalise on the considerable global potential for Aivlosin® which offers a safe and highly effective medication for Mycoplasma infections in high value breeding birds”.
