Further to this, our Super Refined™ excipients meet and go beyond standard pharmacopoeia requirements to provide optimum formulation performance alongside product quality, consistency and reliability. 

Species we serve in the veterinary market

We work with animal pharmaceutical companies and collaborate with their formulation scientists to produce safer, more efficient, and highly specialised products that are used across a variety of marketed veterinary dosage forms that serves across two core animal categories: livestock and companion animals. We strive to offer innovation solutions to meet the challenges formulators, veterinarians and livestock producers face every day.

Veterinary excipients for livestock offerings

Our livestock offerings are dedicated to cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, and fish that prevent and treat conditions that adversely impact livestock and the cost-effective production of high-quality animal protein. 

Our comprehensive range of products have been suitable for global livestock health pharmaceuticals companies in developing:

  • Vaccines to prevent diseases or induce an immune response
  • Anti-infectives to prevent, treat or slow down infection
  • Parasiticides to prevent or remove external and internal parasites
  • Medicated feed additives that improve quality and nutritional content of feed
  • Other pharmaceuticals such as for pain and sedation, as well as wound treatment.

Veterinary excipients for companion animals

Our companion animal offerings are dedicated to dogs, cats, and horses that develop solutions that treat pain and prevent disease, enhance, and extend the quality of life. While also making it easier for pet owners to improve the type of care that their pets receive.   

In addition to the benefits listed above, our comprehensive range of products have been suitable in developing dermatology products to treat and relieve specific skin or coat concerns for companion animals.

Oral

Controlled release oral dosage forms for companion animals represent a challenge because of both gastrointestinal physiology and eating habits. We have developed in-house capabilities and expertise in recent years to gain understanding of effects of high purity excipients and SEDDS and SMEDDs formulations on oral absorption in vitro.

Topical

Topical spot-on formulations have become increasingly popular as a convenient dosing options for companion animals. Our Super Refined range can not only aid with solubilising and stabilising sparingly soluble actives but can also improve delivery of the active through the skin using permeation enhancers. These benefits ultimately add value for the next generation of spot-on formulations.

In combination with penetration studies, we can develop tailored and effective pour-on formulations to help improve both the performance of new drugs and maximising return from existing products.
