>Mary, do you know WHICH company is buying United Vaccines? As of Wednesday, United did not have a buyer, they are still for sale. >I have also heard of false positives from Avecon. When using blood, yes. That is why the AFA only accepts Avecon tests when used with saliva samples sent for in-lab testing. >My hope is that another company or pathology lab will buy rights to >the CEP test, or that the company will donate it to a university in >the U.S. if it needs to better adjust its tax numbers. That would be great news. I have contacted the Univ of GA about doing commercial ADV testing and Marshall Farms about doing ADV testing/perhaps buying Fervac and starting a pharmaceutical branch. Out of the commercial breeders, they seem to be the most likely to be able to do this. Haven't heard anything back, yet.
