Napanee, Ontario, Canada – NovaVive Inc., an animal health immunobiology company, announces that its immunotherapy for equine endometritis, Settle®, has received approval for sale in Canada from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The product is expected to launch in the first quarter of this year.

Settle is manufactured using the NovaVive Mycobacterium cell wall fraction (MCWF) technology. It is also approved by regulators in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and UAE as an aid in the treatment of equine endometritis caused by Streptococcus zooepidemicus, the hardest to treat cause of the disease. When administered into a mare, Settle stimulates her immune system to fight the infection.
