Overview - Intervet Inc. USA

In the year 1998 an Aquaculture Group was established in Intervet Inc., following the lead of Intervet International, with Kurt Schuster as Business Manager, located in Millsboro, Delaware at the headquarters site.
The first product licensed was CHORULON® (hCG) which received an FDA license for use as a spawning aid in all finfish in August of 1999. The second product licensed was a live attenuated vaccine for the prevention of Enteric Septicemia of Catfish (ESC) caused by Edwardsiella ictaluri. This USDA license was granted in the year 1999. The product was launched in the year 2000. 

Because of the large market size and potential, the focus to date has been on providing help to the catfish industry in the form of the ESC vaccine. However, evaluation of the trout and salmon markets as well as other health-related products for the catfish industry is on-going.
