Unsure , indeterminate of course .
But - a quick off the cuff reply , my perception —
There are approx 1 billion piglets born annually
There are MANY that die .. sadly .
Antibiotics and supplements- have been integral , long history of . Hence the original research , way back 25 years ago - by lead scientist Dr Tracey , and precursor research teams to Anatara .
Detach - was originally marketed and had proven efficacy , with full acceptance in our local market & clear hopes and expectation of benefits global meat production Animal Market . Pigs most certainly- proven , a Win :Win .
Detach - was the No 1 lead market product - for piglets as treatment gut upsets - in Australia and New Zealand prior to the parent company which held the licence - being bought out by a Global entity ..
Then ... !! weirdly enough , this global entity , inexplicably -immediately ‘dropped ‘ Detach . Shelved it . Hence still been overuse , retrograde near catastrophic buildup of resistance to our most crucial antibiotics - through continued use , further decades . This MUST Stop .
So here we are another 20 years later— still awaiting re- release of Detach , held up even by tardiness resulting from Dept moves APVMA / Barnaby headache .
Truly look forward to this beneficial antimicrobial supplement and diahorreal treatment being re- accredited as well as significant global uptake and use .
In meantime though major countries inc China , North America , and European - have announced to be a ban on prophylactic antibiotic administrations in meat production animals where not prescribed by a veterinarian for an animal being sick , as well as bans and restrictions on ZnO prophylaxis . This is really needed - long overdue - but thank god happening and to be enforced gradually over the next several years . Zinc Oxide - effective , in helping health , antimicrobial - but issues with heavy metal accumulation in waste , from animal faeces - subsequently building up in the soil and environment .
So - my back of envelope had been - without working out profitability or value of Detach really :
The market for antibiotics - administered annually just to pigs - in Europe, the US , Aust & NZ - is about $100 million . Swine only, not including much more enormous markets in SE Asia , elsewhere . But a good starting point .
Personally I think the Anatara team have been highly tenacious , very genuine & I hope this can soon finally be available.
Further - I would ,yes - seriously, like to take it myself ! Honestly.
I’m also in this - apart from my love of animals ,and animal health - for the ultimate human availabilityBOLTA .
