OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Avivagen Inc. (TSXV:VIV, OTCQB:VIVXF) (“Avivagen”), a life sciences corporation focused on developing and commercializing products for livestock, companion animal and human applications that safely enhances feed intake and supports immune function, thereby supporting general health and performance, is pleased to announce that a large, influential and industry-leading poultry producer in Mexico has placed an order for its OxC-beta Livestock™ product, through Avivagen’s Mexican consultant Meyenberg International Group.
The sale follows a successful customer evaluation trial confirming that OxC-betaTM Livestock increased productivity, flock health, uniformity and improved skin pigmentation within its operations. This small initial order is expected to be delivered in Q2. Based on discussions with the customer, Avivagen anticipates receiving increasingly larger orders in the coming quarters as the customer implements OxC-beta in an increasing number of its contract farms.
“This new purchase, while modest, is continued proof that once large and reputable food producers begin to trial OxC-beta, they consistently see strong results in improved health and production,” says Kym Anthony, Chief Executive Officer, Avivagen. “We’re excited to increase our reach in Mexico, and we expect our relationship with this high-profile customer to grow over the coming months.”
The sale has twofold significance. First, this customer is a relatively large producer with the capacity to regularly use a considerable quantity of OxC-beta in its operations. Thus, they represent an important potential recurring revenue stream for Avivagen. Secondly, the company is a prominent member of ANFACA, a producer association with a large membership based in Jalisco, Mexico. The adoption of OxC-beta in their operations provides other potential customers in the region with validation of the product’s effectiveness under local conditions and will help facilitate additional new sales.
The Mexico Animal feed market is expected to expand to more than US$8 billion by 2025. Growth in the Mexico poultry industry is noted as a key driver of that growth.i

About OxC-beta™ Technology and OxC-beta™ Livestock
Avivagen’s OxC-beta™ technology is derived from Avivagen discoveries about β-carotene and other carotenoids, compounds that give certain fruits and vegetables their bright colours. Through support of immune function the technology provides a non-antibiotic means of promoting health and growth. OxC-beta™ Livestock is a proprietary product shown to be an effective and economic alternative to the antibiotics commonly added to livestock feeds. The product is currently available for sale in the United States, Philippines, Mexico, Taiwan, New Zealand, Thailand, Brazil, Australia, and Malaysia.
Avivagen’s OxC-beta™ Livestock product is safe, effective and could fulfill the global mandate to remove all in-feed antibiotics as growth promoters. Numerous international livestock trials with poultry and swine using OxC-beta™ Livestock have proven that the product performs as well as, and, sometimes, in some aspects, better than in-feed antibiotics.
