A New Vaccine for Swine Edema Disease
Swine edema disease affects fattening pigs between 4 and 12 weeks of age. Caused when toxins from E. coli enter the blood, the disease can become prolonged, resulting in a huge economic loss for the farms affected. Ecoporc Shiga is a new vaccine which reduces the mortality rate and clinical symptoms. The vaccine, which will be offered by Meiji Seika Pharma from 2021, is the first of its type to be approved in Japan.

Preventing the Spread of Classical Swine Fever
In 2018, Japan confirmed its first case of classical swine fever in 26 years. As a countermeasure, Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) sought an oral vaccine for wild boars, thought to be a factor in the spread of the virus. Meiji Seika Pharma partnered with Ceva Santé Animale of Germany to swiftly import an oral classical swine fever vaccine with a proven track record in Europe, helping MAFF to quell the outbreak in Japan.

Animals and Humans Share
"One Health"Meiji emphasizes the concept of "One Health", meaning human health is inseparable from the health of animals and the environment. An example of this is careless use of drugs in animals, which can lead to the development of drug resistance in pathogens. This resistance can spread from animals to humans, and vice versa. Meiji takes this problem very seriously and provides education and guidance on the proper use of all drug treatments, for both humans and animals.
