Chemaphor Announces Official Launch of Avivagen Animal Health Inc.

   Chemaphor Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CFR) and its subsidiary Avivagen Animal Health Inc, today announced that Avivagen Animal Health has officially launched its commercial operations this week. Avivagen has begun marketing exclusively through the veterinary channel in Canada its proprietary Oximunol™ Chewable Tablets for dogs and its in-licensed VetStem RC regenerative cell treatment for dogs, horses and cats.

Dave Hankinson, CEO of Chemaphor and Avivagen commented that "it is gratifying that Chemaphor, through Avivagen, is now able to enter the market with its first commercial products, which have come to fruition after much effort expended on both the research and development and the business development fronts. Our sales representatives are finding considerable interest and excitement across Canada among the veterinarians they visit, for both the VetStem RC regenerative cell treatment and Oximunol™ Chewable Tablets. Indeed, I am pleased to say that the first orders already have been received by Avivagen, and that delivery is slated to begin shortly."

At the same time, Chemaphor has launched a dedicated, interactive website in support of Avivagen's products and services (www.avivagen.com). Dave Hankinson remarked that "we believe it is important to take full advantage of the social media capabilities of online communities, to communicate with and build the all-important, long-term relationships with pet parents and veterinarians. At the same time this discussion creates awareness of and buying interest in our novel and innovative products and services. Accordingly, we have appointed a dedicated consumer and marketing communications coordinator, Jennifer Febel, who will be blogging on the website and facilitating discussion with website visitors through services such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as by regular email. Veterinarians who would like to discuss aspects of our products and services, can contact Dr. Isabelle Epshtein-Verzberger, our veterinary research scientist, whose responsibilities include leading the canine clinical trials program. Questions of a general nature can be directed to the appropriate individual though the Avivagen customer service support desk."
