An application for the registration of the Duddingtonia product was first lodged with the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority in April, 2016. The product is based on a strain of Duddingtonia flagrans, a fungus that occurs naturally in the environment and is found all over the world.
The CSIRO identified strains of Duddingtonia flagrans as having potential for biological parasite control in the early 1990s.
IAHP collaborated with the CSIRO in 1997 and took charge of the commercialisation of the project in 2004.
Twenty years later and IAHP is now geared up to manufacture and market the Duddingtonia flagrans (Df) product in Australia, NZ, the US and, eventually, Europe.
The Duddingtonia flagrans (Df) spores are fed to grazing animals in feed supplements and have no effect on internal parasites within the animal.
