In a news release, 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-beta™ Livestock from Univet Nutrition and Animal Healthcare Co. (UNAHCO)."
Avivagen noted that the order from its long-standing partner in the Philippines, UNAHCO, is the biggest single shipment purchase order of OxC-beta 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-beta™ 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-beta™ 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 stated that its OxC-beta technology is derived from "Avivagen discoveries about β-carotene and other carotenoids, compounds that give certain fruits and vegetables their bright colors. Through support of immune function the technology provides a non-antibiotic means of promoting health and growth. OxC-beta™ Livestock is a proprietary product shown to be an effective and economic alternative to the antibiotics commonly added 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.
