Veterinary biologics & engineered vaccines

Veterinary drugs made from microorganisms, toxins, tissues or metabolites, with genetically engineered vaccines (such as virus-like-particle vaccines) replacing traditional ones — industrial scale in China, with products launched as early as 2016.

1 · What it gives

Veterinary biological products are veterinary drugs made from natural or genetically modified microorganisms, parasites, toxins, biological tissues and metabolites. Novel genetically engineered veterinary vaccines are replacing traditional vaccines to overcome their shortcomings. Production steps for virus-like-particle products include cloning and expression of viral structural genes and selection of the host. Genetically engineered biologicals have reached industrial scale in China, with notable products launched as early as 2016.

2 · What it replaces 6

D1	Biosurfactants (rhamnolipids, sophorolipids) instead of petrochemical surfactants in cleaning and industrial formulation Replaces: Petrochemical surfactants in cleaners and formulations - linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), alcohol ethoxylates (AEO), alkylphenol …	CHEM
D1	Fermentation (stainless and single-use bioreactors, solid-state reactors) and downstream equipment (centrifuges, filtration, spray and fluid-bed drying, formulation) for local production of enzymes, microbial products and fermentation ingredients instead of chemical-synthesis plants and imports Replaces: Chemical-synthesis routes and imports for the products in FI-, FD-, I- and A-series articles (enzymes, organic acids, vitamins, microbial …	EAC
D2	Poultry coccidiosis control with live Eimeria vaccines (and phytogenic support) instead of continuous in-feed ionophores and chemical coccidiostats Replaces: Ionophore coccidiostats (monensin, salinomycin, narasin, lasalocid, maduramicin, semduramicin) and chemical anticoccidials (nicarbazin, …	VET
D2	Industrial biocatalysis (enzymes and whole cells) — e.g. nitrile hydratase for acrylamide, engineered transaminase for sitagliptin, enzymatic antibiotic side-chain processes — instead of heavy-metal catalysts, high-pressure hydrogenation and multistep chemistry with toxic reagents Replaces: Copper-catalysed sulfuric-acid hydration of acrylonitrile; rhodium-catalysed high-pressure asymmetric hydrogenation; chemical deacylation of …	CHEM
D1	Recovered phosphorus (struvite and other recovered phosphates from biological wastewater and digester streams) instead of fertilizer made from cadmium-bearing phosphate rock Replaces: A share of DAP/MAP/superphosphate made from mined phosphate rock; chemical P-removal with iron and aluminium salts at treatment plants …	AGROCHEM
D1	Biochar made by clean pyrolysis of crop, forestry and processing residues — used as a soil amendment and sold as durable carbon removal — instead of open burning, dumping or landfilling of those residues Replaces: Open burning of straw, husks, shells and prunings; dumping and landfilling of processing residues; traditional earth-kiln charcoal making …	AGROCHEM
