ECO RECEIVES EUROPEAN MARKETING AUTHORIZATION FOR AIVLOSIN® FOR TURKEYS

ECO is pleased to announce that it has received a marketing authorization from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the use of Aivlosin® 625 mg/g water soluble granules in turkeys. This authorization allows for the medication of drinking water with Aivlosin® for the treatment of respiratory disease associated with Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) in turkeys.

Aivlosin® is the first antibiotic to be granted approval in Europe for this specific indication, an economically important respiratory disease. Europe has a 30 per cent share of global turkey meat production.

Aivlosin®, ECO’s patented macrolide antibiotic, is used for the treatment of a variety of economically important respiratory and enteric (gut) diseases in pigs and poultry.

Peter Lawrence, Chairman, commented “This European market authorization is a further encouraging step in the ongoing development of Aivlosin® as a multi-species, versatile brand that treats a multitude of different diseases. It underlines ECO’s commitment to be a major force in the global market for animal health products.”
