Key commercial advantages to Imugene’s range of vaccines
For Poultry :
- High efficacy at an early age – important for broilers
- Low cost of mass administration
- Oral (via water) or in ovo (egg) administration proven
- Individual bird handling not required
- In ovo administration via egg injection equipment undertaken by most US poultry broiler hatcheries
- Very cost effective for mass administration to entire poultry sheds containing many thousands of birds
For Pigs:
- Lack of viable effective vaccine for major ‘new’ economically important diseases – PRRS & PAV Merial
- Gene therapy approach favoured
- Stimulation of pigs own immune system allows reduced handling
For Pigs and Poultry:
- Marker vaccine
- Allows authorities to differentiate between infected and vaccinated animal – a vital consideration for the international poultry & pig industries
- Safe to use
- the Imugene vaccines are safe and cannot mutate or recombine with live viruses
- Low cost of producing, storing and distributing commercial quantities of the vaccine
