In a news release, life sciences company Avivagen Inc. (VIV:TSX.V; VIVXF:OTCQB), which develops and commercializes natural feed products for livestock, companion animals and human applications, announced that "it has received a purchase order for a single shipment of 4.4 metric tonnes of OxC-betaTM Livestock from Univet Nutrition and Animal Healthcare Co. (UNAHCO)."
Avivagen mentioned that the order from its long-standing partner in the Philippines, UNAHCO, is the biggest single shipment purchase order of OxC-betaTM that it has ever received. The company pointed out that not only is the order 10% larger than its previous record single shipment order, but it also represents 40% of the firm's previous fiscal year's total volume.
The company's CEO Kym Anthony stated, "UNAHCO has been amongst the earliest adopters of OxC-betaTM for use in swine, and recently poultry and its continued growth in order frequency and size is a clear indicator of the value that our product brings to the livestock feed production market...We continue to add new applications and markets for OxC-betaTM worldwide that, taken together with our ongoing relationships with great and growing customers like UNAHCO, are providing dramatic growth potential and success for Avivagen."
The firm mentioned that its OxC-beta™ technology is derived from otherwise overlooked aspects of β-carotene and other carotenoid compounds. Avivagen advised that these compounds give many fruits and vegetables their bright colors and additionally support immune function. A leading benefit is that OxC-beta™ technology promotes health and growth and offers immune function support without using antibiotics. The company said that OxC-beta™ Livestock has demonstrated to be both effective and economical in lieu of adding antibiotics to livestock feeds. OxC-beta™ Livestock is presently available for sale in Australia, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and the U.S.
The company indicated that OxC-beta™ Livestock provides a safe and cost effective means of promoting health and growth and that it believes the product could serve to fulfill the global mandate to remove all in-feed antibiotics as growth promoters. Avivigan noted that many international livestock trials conducted for poultry and swine using OxC-beta™ Livestock have proven that the product performs equally well and in numerous cases better than in-feed antibiotics.
