To meet the increased demand for the livestock vaccines and diagnostics in the country and the region, Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) has decided to transfer technologies developed by its researchers. The IVRI is looking for experienced companies interested in commercial production and marketing of its technologies and ensuring the availability of these vaccines and diagnostics for large-scale use.

Along with bacterial and viral vaccines, the technologies available for transfer include diagnostic tools. Among the bacterial vaccines ready for transfer are multiple emulsion HS vaccine, Enterotoxiemia vaccine, Brucella abortus cotton strain-19 vaccine, Brucella melitensis vaccine, and Saponified haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) vaccine. The viral vaccines include the live attenuated homologous Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) vaccine, Vero cell based goat pox vaccine, Vero cell based sheep pox vaccine and Swine fever virus cell culture vaccine.

The various diagnostic tools developed by IVRI include the Tuberculin PPD, Mallein PPD, Johnin PPD, Brucella abortus – SAT, Brucella abortus – MRT, Brucella abortus – RBPT, Brucella abortus – Positive serum, Salmonella reagents, Caprine pleuropneumonia diagnostic kit, monoclonal antibody-based sandwich ELISA kit for PPR virus antigen detection and monoclonal antibody based competitive ELISA kit for PPR virus antibody detection, among others.
