Bacteria, viruses and protozoa cause disease by:

RMT - HOW IT WORKS

  • Froducing toxins that bind to receptors on the gut wall
  • Adhering to receptors on the gut wall
  • RMT mimics these receptors
  • Toxins or organisms bind to the RMT in the gut and are harmlessly excreted
  • RMT prevents the disease production loss Ŵ)

RECEPTOR MIMIC TECHNOLOGY

  • Initial external trials should commence by August and take 3-4 weeks to complete
  • Scale up to commercial production in TGA approved facility has commenced
  • Commercial production by existing approved contract manufacturer
  • Distribution through established international veterinary distributors
