Phagovet drug for the prevention and treatment of diseases in poultry has been registered in Russia

The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) has added a veterinary drug for the treatment and prevention of bacterial etiology infections in poultry to the register of medicinal products.

A suspension of specific bacteriophages can be used for growing broiler chickens and rearing flocks of egg-laying crosses, as well as for the prevention of infectious diseases in adult flocks.

Poultry meat production in the Russian Federation is estimated at millions of tons. Since 2022 the country has been in the top 4 global producers, although 20 years ago it was only in 20th place. Egg production is also growing rapidly. According to the Russian Poultry Union, Russia ranks 7th in the world in this category.

However, as the number of poultry increases, the risk of invasions also increases, reducing the productivity of incubators and egg production, increasing animal mortality losses and, as a result, causing damage to the farming industry for billions of roubles.
One of the ways to keep poultry healthy is Phagovet drug. It is a bacteriophage suspension in isotonic saline solution for oral administration. The product is supplied through the watering system and protects poultry from a number of relevant strains:
  • 1
    Escherichia coli (causes colibacillosis).
  • 2
    Pseudomonas aeruginosa (pseudomonosis).
  • 3
    Staphylococcus aureus (staphylococcosis).
  • 4
    Streptococcus pyogenes (streptococcosis).
  • 5
    Salmonella enteritidis (salmonellosis).
  • 6
    Enterococcus cecorum (enterococcosis).
  • 7
    Enterobacteriaceae (proteus infection).
Phagovet was previously registered in Hungary and now has passed the state registration procedure in Russia, having received an approval from the Commission for Immunobiological Medicines of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "The Russian State Center for Animal Feed and Drug Standardization and Quality". The drug can be used for the prevention of bacterial diseases both at farming broilers and rearing flocks, as well as adult flocks.

The course of Phagovet application in young flocks consists of 2−3 feedings for 7 days. Preventive feeding for adult flocks is started 7 days before the peak days of mortality, and the duration of the course depends on its level.
