We are happy to announce the successful registration and launch
of Uniferon® in the Ukraine.
As a developing key Eastern European pig farming market,
Pharmacosmos is now able to supply winning pig farmers with the
benefits of quality injectable iron supplementation.
In recent time, the Ukrainian pig production industry has
developed in a positive direction, and many believe that the best
years lie just ahead of us.
At Pharmacosmos, we are pleased to be an active part of this
movement towards best practice management.
We have chosen Woodhoff as dedicated partner thanks to the
company's hands-on experience with the challenges and possibilities
in the Ukraine and we look forward to a strong and fruitful
long-term collaboration.
A short introduction by Woodhoff
At Woodhoff, we have been active on the Ukrainian market for
2 years and have a clear focus on sow farming, including artificial
insemination and expertise on how to grow the piglet up to 30 kg
with high digestible protein, milk powders and antibiotic
replacers.
Pharmacosmos is well-known throughout the world for high
quality products and in our opinion Uniferon® matches the Ukrainian
pig industry perfectly.
As Ukrainian pig farming has developed significantly in
the last 3-4 year, the local pig farmer is increasingly demanding
quality injectable iron, and this is the primary reason why we have
agreed to partner with Pharmacosmos.
At Woodhoff, we recognize the quality and effect of
Uniferon®, which match our current product line, and we are very
positive about the fact that Uniferon® is a unique feron supplement
for piglets, which can't be compared to any other product on the
Ukrainian market.
We look forward to a strong partnership with Pharmacosmos
- where both company will work together to stay close and committed
to the challenges of the Ukrainian pig farms.
