Summary |
The abuse of antibiotics has caused an increase in many drug-resistant bacteria which caused huge losses in agricultural and fishery. Inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, Herbmedotcin was synthesized from nature materials with exclusive patented technology. It can effectively inhibit drug-resistant bacteria and common bacteria in aquaculture. It has a high biological safety, salt, acid and high temperature. Herbmedotcin is an emerging product capable of replacing antibiotics. |
Scientific Breakthrough |
Herbmedotcin is effective in inhibiting common pathogens, and even drug-resistant bacteria that can't be treated with antibiotics. It has received the attention of the international scientific research community and the renowned journal Science Translational Medicine article coverage. Many media have also reported, and in 2018 won the highest honor of the Taiwan Innotech Expo invention competition-Platinum Award. |
Industrial Applicability |
Herbmedotcin: Provides antibiotic-free feed additives to reduce agricultural losses caused by infectious diseases and enhances animal health and growth rate which is different from antibiotics. It meets the international antibiotic-free requirements. Now, it is actively conducting commercialization and large-scale field trials in several industries. For example: aquaculture, agricultural livestock, cosmetics and sanitary cleaning products, etc. |
