Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc.: SUWN Contracts Leading Scientist to Advance the Development of Hypericin-Based Products for Use in Combating Avian Flu Virus 12/4/2006 Dec 04, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Fort Lauderdale, FL and Qufu, China - Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: SUWN), an industry leader in the production and distribution of Chinese herbs, veterinary medicines and one of the world's leading producers of the all natural, zero calorie sweetener Stevia in China, announced today Sunwin has contracted a pioneer in the research of the avian flu virus, Dr. Jianping Liang. Dr. Liang is the Dean of the Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and a Professor of the South China Agricultural University. Dr. Liang was credited with ground breaking early stage research showing Hypericin was successful in treating the avian flu viruses. Dr. Liang will work closely with Sunwin, Shandong Province, and the Central Government agencies to expedite the approval of the use of Sunwin's Hypericin as class I veterinary medicine to treat poultries infected by avian flu viruses. In addition, Dr. Liang, together with Sunwin's scientists, will continue his leading research work for developing Hypericin related medicines, targeting delivery to poultry through various feeds and drinks to neutralize the viruses and to contain potential outbreaks.
In November 2005, Sunwin's research team created two products employing Hypericin as a main component to deter the spread of the avian flu virus. In the same month, the Department of Livestock Farming of the Shandong Province Government submitted a fast-track application to the Livestock Farming Bureau of China Ministry of Agriculture for approval of Sunwin's Hypericin as a class I veterinary medicine to treat strains of the avian flu virus in poultry. While China Ministry of Agriculture has not provided such clearance of our Hypericin as a class I veterinary medicine, Sunwin can distribute Hypericin as a veterinary feed additive within China.
Laiwang Zhang, President and Chairman of Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, stated, "With the leadership from the top scientist of avian flu virus in China, Sunwin has substantially enhanced its leading position in the Hypericin-based veterinary product sector. We have made the necessary preparations to make our company ready to roll out our Hypericin-based product line as soon as we receive approval from the Central Government for our Hypericin as class I veterinary medicine for treating poultry infected by the avian flu viruses. If the Central Government mandates the use of Hypericin-based products in the poultry industry to prevent potential outbreaks of avian flu, we anticipate that revenues and earnings from our veterinary division will be substantially increased for years to come."
