Bovogen Biologicals receives Industry Award – May, 2006

Bovogen Biologicals received an Australian Red Meat Industry Award for Innovation following nomination and selection from a number of Australian bioactives manufacturers by an independant industry panel. The award was for the development of a novel bovine serum albumin product called 'BovoLep' which has been shown by industry to enhance the growth of fastidious micro-organisms such as Leptospira. BovoLep BSA has also been shown to be a superior product to other BSAs when used as a supplement in serum free mammalian cell culture systems.

Managing Director, Rick Clements, accepted the award on behalf of Bovogen Biologicals at the Australian Red Meat Industry conference dinner in Rockhampton, Queensland in May, 2006.  


Biovine Biologicals formed - 2005

Managing Director of Bovogen Biologicals, Rick Clements teams up with Dr. David Kennedy from Biotechnology Development Ltd. to form and register a new company called Biovine Biologicals Pty Ltd.

Biovine Biologicals shall focus on the development and supply of ovine proteins and related products for the life science industries. Australia is one of a relative few countries that is scrapie free (ovine form of a transmissable spongiform encephalopathy) hence, making the country an excellent source of ovine biological products. Australia's abundant sheep herds also facilitates the sourcing of inexpensive raw materials.  

Certain ovine blood clotting proteins shall also be developed and manufactured by Bovogen Biologicals on behalf of Biovine Biologicals for the development of haemostasis applications by international collaborators.

Biovine Biologicals' ovine based products shall also provide an alternative to traditional bovine sourced compounds hence, providing global life science industries with products that are not affected by BSE concerns.

BovoLep BSA production commences – Mid, 2004

Through market research, Bovogen Biologicals discovered that animal pharmaceutical manufacturers using BSA for the growth of a variety of micro-organism derived vaccines were constantly frustrated at the variability in the performance of cultures.

BovoLep BSA was also shown to be a far superior product in serum free mammalian culture systems when compared to traditional BSA products.

As a result of this collaboratoive effort, Bovogen commenced production of BovoLep BSA in mid-2004.
