Specialised Drugs for Exotics and Wildlife Capture
The V-Tech team of pharmacists and wildlife veterinarians are pioneers in developing compounded veterinary medicines for use in the treatment, sedation and translocation of wild animals.

We have the insight, knowledge and passion for finding pharmacy solutions to treat these animals effectively, and we’re actively involved in evaluating the efficacy of these solutions.
Ensuring Continuous Medicine Supplies
When a commercially available medication becomes unavailable, it can disrupt a patient’s treatment regime, potentially compromising
their health.

V-Tech offers a surveillance program for the poultry industry in South Africa. It addresses the concerns of the rising level of microbial resistance to antibiotics developing in the E.coli population relevant to the intensive livestock industry. The program offers similar surveillance to the beef and pork industries which consists of the following key elements:

1.Specialised Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) plates containing a panel on anti-microbials are produced by V-Tech’s laboratory
2.Regular swabs are taken from post-mortem samples or trans tracheal washes, and pathological bacteria are identified
3.The pathological bacteria are exposed to different concentrations of anti-microbials on the MIC plates, and the optimal choice and dosage regime is identified
4.From the above outcome, the veterinary pharmacist team determines the best treatment regime for the specific intensive livestock production unit.
Monitoring Programmes
The program consists of the following two legs:
Feed or water samples are regularly taken from the feed or drinking
water of the animals treated for antibiotic concentration testing. This
ensures that the animals are treated at the optimum dose.
Tissue samples for residue testing are regularly taken at the point of
slaughter. These tissue samples are analysed by Gas Chromatography Analytic methods to establish if any antibiotic residue remains in the meat sold for human consumption.
Constant communication between V-Tech and the veterinarian responsible ensures that the final product sold for human consumption is safe.
