Animal Healthcare Division

In Q4 FY24, the Animal Healthcare division experienced a growth which is attributed to:

1.  Consistent sales of the Goat Pox vaccine, supporting the preventive vaccination program against the Lumpy Skin Disease in Cattle, and continued supplies of the PPR vaccine for Sheep and Goat for the Government of India’s National Immunisation Programs.

2.Along with vaccines, health product sales experienced a growth as well. It is worth noting, this growth is achieved even after the discontinuation of two products, CurX Injection and iSumovet, totaling to a loss of sales in response to new drug regulations prohibiting the use of Ketoprofen for animal treatment. This growth reflects the division’s resilience and ability to adapt and pick the momentum back, despite of challenges which are not under our control.

1.This growth trajectory has been consistent throughout the year, with each quarter surpassing the previous in terms of sales performance. Hence, from an annual perspective, the division has demonstrated improved sales compared to the previous years.

2.This turnaround can be attributed to – recouping of the Poultry Industry, the introduction of diverse products to meet the evolving needs of poultry farmers and further capitalising that existing market opportunities.
