RNS Number : 7800G Eco Animal Health Group PLC 10 November 2025
10 November 2025
ECO Animal Health Group plc
("ECO" or the "Company")
EMA Positive Opinion Received for ECOVAXXIN® MS poultry vaccine
Key milestone establishes roadmap for H2 2026 EU commercial launch
ECO Animal Health Group plc (AIM: EAH), a rapidly growing global animal health
company with a portfolio of marketed veterinary products and a maturing
proprietary R&D pipeline, announces that the Committee for Medicinal
Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has
adopted a Positive Opinion recommending the granting of EU marketing
authorisation for ECOVAXXIN® MS, a poultry vaccine
against Mycoplasma synoviae.
Based on the CVMP's Positive Opinion, the EMA is expected to issue a marketing
authorisation during the first quarter of 2026, and ECO Animal
Health anticipates making ECOVAXXIN® MS commercially available in the
European Union in the second half of 2026.
ECOVAXXIN® MS provides active immunisation of future layer and breeder
chickens from four weeks of age, helping to reduce air-sac and foot-pad
lesions caused by Mycoplasma synoviae infections. Air-sac and foot-pad
lesions cause economic loss, especially in laying hens, and the number of eggs
produced by affected layers can be reduced by 5-10%.
ECO Animal Health expects to submit additional geographic marketing
authorisation requests for ECOVAXXIN® MS, as well as submissions for further
vaccine products in its R&D pipeline, during the next 12 months.
David Hallas, Chief Executive Officer of ECO Animal Health, said: "We are
delighted to have received a Positive Opinion from the CVMP for ECOVAXXIN MS.
This significant milestone paves the way for a mid-2026 EU launch for this
innovative vaccine product, in-line with our prior guidance.
"This marks an exciting time for the Company, with further submissions
expected over the next 12 months for additional products from our R&D
pipeline, underpinning ECO's next phase of growth. I'd like to thank our
R&D, regulatory, marketing, and technical teams for their hard work in
getting us to this point and look forward to updating the market on our
continued progress."
