ECO Animal Health Group plc to announce that it has received a new US and Canadian label claim indication for Aivlosin® Water Soluble Granules ("WSG") in pigs. Following years of research into the sow reproductive safety of Aivlosin® WSG, a new 'sow safety' indication has been approved by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Prior to this approval, the label indication restricted WSG to be used only in the drinking water of swine intended for slaughter and not for use in lactating or pregnant females, or males and females intended for breeding.

The new label indication will be 'For use only in the drinking water of swine intended for slaughter and female swine intended for breeding. Not for use in male swine intended for breeding'. Meanwhile, the Veterinary Drugs Directorate in Canada has also approved the removal of label statements regarding 'not for use in lactating or pregnant females and females intended for breeding'.
