Neogen (NEOG) to Offer New Biosecurity Solution in Canada
Read MoreHide Full Article
Neogen Corporation (NEOG - Free Report) recently gained approval from the Natural and Non-Prescriptive Health Products Directorate Branch of Health Canada to distribute Neogen Viroxide Super across the country. The new biosecurity solution is effective against a variety of industry-relevant bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19 and avian influenza.
The latest authorization adds to the clearances from other global regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for using the disinfectant to combat the spread of disease.
The Neogen Viroxide Super strengthens Neogen’s comprehensive suite of biosecurity offering, which was developed for use in the company’s agricultural markets and to prevent disease spread.
More on the Neogen Viroxide Super
The Neogen Viroxide Super is a peroxygen-based powder disinfectant containing potassium peroxymonosulfate and sodium chloride as active ingredients. It allows for rapid broad-spectrum disinfection as part of a comprehensive biosecurity program and can be used to disinfect animal housing and equipment, boot baths, vehicles, and other hard, non-porous surfaces. The product works well in hard water and its preparation is made easier by a color change to green when it is ready to use.

Per management, the biosecurity solution is ideal for use in production and companion animal facilities, farm premises and aquaculture environments. It aids in protecting animals, food and people from bacteria and viruses.
Industry Prospects
Per a report by Coherent Market Insights, the global disinfectants market is set to witness a CAGR of 6% during 2020 to 2027. The growing demand for disinfectants from water treatment and healthcare industries can be attributable to market growth.
Given the market potential, the regulatory approval for the Neogen Viroxide Super in Canada seems well-timed.
