  3. How to encourage Industry to Commercialise Veterinary Medicinal Products in Africa ? • Introduction • Real African Animal Production REVOLUTION • Farmers MENTALITY and EDUCATION are changing very fast • From «quantity farming» to Sustainable QUALITY FARMING => High Quality Animal Products => Export Opportunities Results in HIGH ADDED VALUE • Need for HIGH QUALITY VETERINARY DRUGS • This is very encouraging for the Veterinary Pharmaceutical Industry

  4. How to encourage Industry to Commercialise Veterinary Medicinal Products in Africa ? • Actual Situation for Veterinary Medicinal Products in Africa • Overcrowded withfakeand low quality “generics” • Senegal: 140 registered Veterinary products but more than 1000 marketed • Difficulties for Farmers to haveaccess to Quality Drugs • Products with same Active Ingredient are ALL sold at more or less the same price to farmers => strong interest to promote only low quality “generic” products => Very High Margins => MONEY-MAKERS

  5.

(2002): Non-conformance of Diminazene preparations to • manufacturer’s label claims: an extra factor in the development of parasite • resistance. • In: Integrated Control of Pathogenic trypanosomes and their Vectors,5:24-25. • Study carried out in 2001 by FAO • 104 samples of Diminazene of • 19 different brand names • In 11 African countries • Tolerance limit : 10% 32% of all diminazene products in Africa are not in conformity with label and insert leaflet (If 5% T.L.=> 56% are NON-CONFORM)
