Uptick Newswire Hosts Avivagen Inc. on The Stock Day Podcast to Discuss Upcoming Milestones in The Livestock Additive Space

PHOENIX, May 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uptick Newswire Stock Day Podcast welcomed Avivagen Inc. (CHEXF), a life sciences corporation focused on developing and commercializing products for livestock, companion animal and human applications that, by safely supporting immune function, promote general health and performance. President, Chairman, and CEO, Kym Anthony, joined Stock Day host Everett Jolly.

Jolly began the interview by asking Mr. Anthony to give listeners an update on the Company’s current projects. Mr. Anthony explained that recently the Company has launched into the commercial space. With their new and existing customers, the Company has been able to more than double their volume. Another recent milestone is the beginning of the sales process in the United States. He further explained that the main product of the Company is a replacement for antibiotics in livestock feed, which has become incredibly popular overseas.

Mr. Anthony also explained that the Company recently formed a new partnership that will allow them to complete trials and begin selling their product in the United States, as well as expand their product into multiple applications.

Jolly then asked about the Company’s increasing revenues. “Those revenues come from two basic sources,” stated Mr. Anthony. He explained that currently the revenue is due to their sales for livestock additives, however another revenue source comes from their companion animal business which features an anti-inflammatory vitamin chew.

Jolly followed by asking about the Company’s future milestones. Mr. Anthony shared that United States trials and the transition of these trials into distribution represents their main goals. “The next 6-12 months, that will be the key thing to focus on,” stated Mr. Anthony. He also explained that the current product could also be applied as a supplement for humans to treat inflammation and other ailments in a healthy way.

Mr. Anthony shared that the Company’s livestock division is a major part of their revenues, however their future growth and revenues will be greatly enhanced by the addition of human applications for their products.

To close the interview, Mr. Anthony added that the Company plans to be moving their Vivamune Health Chews division to a joint venture with a major distribution platform which will further improve their revenues.
