a growing animal health company that develops, manufactures and markets scientifically-proven and practical products that improve

the health and productivity of dairy and beef calves, today announced receipt of a $500,000 subordinated loan from the Maine

Technology Institute (MTI), whose mission is to support Maine's innovation economy.

complete the development of Re-Tain and to bring the formulation and aseptic filling services for Re-Tain

in-house after FDA approval and market launch.

$18 million to approximately $27 million. Phase I of this expansion project (that being the relocation of the capsule assembly

functions to the new facility to create space for the installation of increased freeze-drying capacity) is most critical to filling

the current backlog of orders. This MTI funding helps the Company move straight ahead with Phase II of this expansion project

liquid processing capacity). A video tour of the new production space is available at https://youtu.be/bR4Dp8raAEc.
