Sydney, Nov 21, 2017 AEST (ABN Newswire) - At the Australasian Pig Science Association (APSA) Conference in Melbourne this week, Dr Trish Holyoake & Dr Tracey Mynott presented a poster highlighting the comparable efficacy of a single dose of Anatara's (googlechartASX:ANR) Detach(R) product to in-feed Zinc oxide (ZnO) in reducing diarrhoea and antibiotic treatments in post-weaning piglets. These results are significant given the push to remove ZnO from the food chain.

INTRODUCTION

Anatara Lifesciences is currently applying for re-registration of Detach(R) as an alternative to antibiotics and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) to aid in the control of pre- and post-weaning diarrhoea in piglets. Bromelain, the active in Detach(R) reduces diarrhoea through its anti-attachment and anti-secretory effect (see Notes 1, 2 below) on the intestine, and is therefore unlikely to contribute to antimicrobial resistance. This study was designed to compare the efficacy of a single 4mL Detach(R) drench at weaning (18-28 days of age) to ZnO (2,500 ppm in feed) as an aid in the control of post-weaning diarrhoea in piglets.

CONCLUSION

A single dose of Detach(R) at weaning was as effective as in-feed ZnO in reducing diarrhoea and antibiotic treatments in piglets post-weaning compared to untreated piglets.
