Summary
The overall goal has been to develop a live salmonellosis vaccine for registration in Australia to prevent disease in commercial livestock production systems, moreover at the time of committing to the investment, the target market was the live sheep trade. The commercial partner terminated their MDC partnership due to diminishing live export sheep numbers and therefore can no longer see the return on investment by continuing registration. A proportion of these funds were utilised in an attempt to get re-classification as a non-GMO. This was not granted and therefore we are not in a position to import the masterseed.
MLA action
No further investment.
