Animal Health Execs Forecast Steady Growth
In 2015 the global animal health industry will see steady growth in the range of 4% to 5%. That’s the consensus of more than 40 senior executives surveyed recently by Brakke Consulting, Inc. The survey was conducted in late 2014, and presented at Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas, NV, this month. “Executives of smaller companies tended to be more bullish about 2015 and beyond than larger companies,” said Ron Brakke, president of Brakke Consulting. “Their optimism may be driven in part by new technologies they are developing.” Regions of greatest growth are expected to be Asia, especially China, followed by the US and Latin America, according to survey participants. Sales in Europe are expected to be flat or perhaps even down slightly. While executives expect sales of both companion animal and food animal products to expand, they foresee further contraction in the equine market. In the US, survey participants anticipate that beef and swine numbers will grow, rebounding from declines caused by drought (beef) and PEDV (swine). PEDV is porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, a devastating disease that hit US swine herds in 2013 and 2014. Animal Health executives are happy to have the Great Recession behind them. There was almost universal agreement that meat consumption and pet populations were both negatively impacted by the recession, especially in the US.

RHI Appoints Brakke Consulting as Exclusive Agent for eRapa (a patent pending formulation of Rapamycin)
RHI, an early stage development company located in San Antonio, TX, has appointed Brakke Consulting, Inc. of Dallas, TX for its new platform technology, eRapa, with rights to a full portfolio of patent applications. eRapa shows great promise to be the First-in-Class m-Tor inhibitor in veterinary medicine. As a cytostatic immune modulator, eRapa has a broad spectrum of potential benefits including: cell cycle downregulation in cancer and autoimmunity, enhanced autophagy which enables the removal of cellular debris after trauma or with advanced aging, improved vascular pathology which enables increased blood flow to aged and damaged organs, and an immune boosting capacity in healthy subjects. RHI has demonstrated safety and efficacy of eRapa in three pilot therapeutic programs in dogs and cats including Feline Chronic Gingivo-Stomatitits (FCGS), Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD), and Intervertebral Disc Disorder (IVDD). A fourth clinical trial in canine oncology is underway. Interface with the Center for Veterinary Medicine is underway. “We are pleased to have Brakke Consulting on the team to assist us in finding a partner for the further development and commercialization of Rapamycin,” says Randy Goldsmith, CEO of RHI.

Pet Dental Problems Identified
America’s dogs and cats need better dental care. That’s the key finding of a comprehensive new study conducted by Brakke Consulting, Inc. and Ipsos Agriculture and Animal Health. The Brakke-Ipsos Pet Dental Market Study included national surveys of both veterinarians and pet owners. Veterinarians indicated that the majority of the pets they see have dental problems. But the vast majority of pet owners consider their pets’ dental status as “normal,” and less than 30% recognized any potential problems. A big part of the problem may be communications, according to the research. While more than 90 percent of veterinarians said they “always” check the oral health status of their patients, only 25% said they actually provide a written report to their clients. Less than half of pet owners recall discussing their pet’s oral health during the pet’s last examination. Pet owners’ primary defense against teeth and gum problems in their pets are dental treats and chews. The majority – 80 percent of dog owners and 50 percent of cat owners – purchased dental chews or treats in the past year. A small minority have purchased other products such as rinses, sealers and pet food with dental claims. Only about one in five dog owners and one in ten cat owners have had their pet’s teeth cleaned by a veterinarian in the

New report profiles the US flea, tick and heartworm markets
A new study from Brakke Consulting takes an in-depth look at flea, tick and heartworm products, the largest segment of the companion animal market. ”The flea control and heartworm preventatives market has been one of the most innovative areas in animal health, with a variety of new active ingredients and novel formulations,” said Lynn Fondon, senior consultant of Brakke Consulting. “Sales of flea control products have tripled in size since the introduction of Program, the first of the new-generation products, in 1995.” The study, The US Flea Control and Heartworm Markets, profiles the veterinary and OTC markets for flea and tick products and heartworm preventatives, including veterinary product sales and pricing, advertising expenditures, and new and developing products. The report – published annually by Brakke for the past 17 years – gathered information from a variety of sources, including published information, industry interviews and a survey of over 350 small animal veterinarians and 500 pet owners. The US Flea Control and Heartworm Markets report is available from Brakke Consulting for $7,500.
