Phagelux AgriHealth Announces Phagelux Animal Health
Phagelux AgriHealth has launched a new subsidiary – Phagelux Animal Health – focused on developing innovative products for the animal health industry based on bacteriophage technology.
The new subsidiary will be based in Ames, Iowa and will conduct extensive research into bacteriophage technology. Bacteriophages are natural viruses that target and eliminate specific pathogenic bacteria to reduce disease in animals, enhance productivity in protein production, and improve food safety. Phagelux Animal Health intends to harness the power of bacteriophages to improve the health of livestock without the need for antibiotics and heavy chemicals. Phages are completely safe and non-toxic, enhancing sustainability and reducing the risk of antimicrobial resistance.
“We are excited to launch Phagelux Animal Health and contribute to the animal health industry with our expertise in bacteriophage technology,” said Mark Engel, CEO of Phagelux AgriHealth. “Our new base in Ames, Iowa, will allow us to leverage the local scientific community’s strengths and drive the development of new, effective solutions that meet the needs of the global livestock market.”
