Korea Invents New Method Of Poultry Preventive Medicine Production

A research institute under the Ministry of Agriculture of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has opened up a new prospect of the preventive medicine production for poultry. It has successfully invented a biological method by which one can easily get factors of rapidly increasing cells, the most important in the medicine production, after developing a serum-free incubator. Therefore, this has made it possible to mass-produce preventive medicines by the method of tissue culture.

According to Hong Thae Sik, a section chief of the institute, the newly developed medicines for chicken, goose, duck and other domestic fowls are stronger in immunity than those made with serum added to them.

They have been widely accepted by poultry farms for their efficacy and low production cost.
