Animal Health Vaccines

We are committed to improving the health, care and well being of animals by using plant biotechnology for the production of vaccines.

Thanks to our core competencies in plant biotechnology and biosecurity, we are well positioned to be a global leader in plant-cell-produced vaccine commercialization.

Plant-cell-produced vaccines are a type of plant-made vaccine, but without the concerns or challenges associated with making vaccines in whole plants or food crops.

Some of the benefits of this promising new technology include:

• No components of animal origin – eliminating risk of animal virus contaminants
• Potential to eliminate refrigeration and increase shelf life of vaccines
• Vaccine cannot replicate or shed
• Plant-cell-based technology helps ensure biosecurity and environmental stewardship – no field-grown plants
• Potential for needle-free delivery of vaccines
