• Purchase order represents more than 40% of previous fiscal year�s total volume

OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avivagen Inc. (TSXV:VIV, OTCQB:VIVXF) (�Avivagen�), a life sciences corporation focused on developing and commercializing products for livestock, companion animal and human applications that enhance feed intake and safely support immune function, thereby supporting general health and performance, is pleased to announce it has received a purchase order for a single shipment of 4.4 metric tonnes of OxC-beta� Livestock from UNAHCO. The purchase order is the largest single shipment purchase order of OxC-beta� to date and represents a 10% increase in size over its previous record single shipment order.

�UNAHCO has been amongst the earliest adopters of OxC-beta� for use in swine, and recently poultry, and its continued growth in order frequency and size is a clear indicator of the value that our product brings to the livestock feed production market,� said Kym Anthony, Chief Executive Officer, Avivagen Inc. �We continue to add new applications and markets for OxC-beta� worldwide that, taken together with our ongoing relationships with great and growing customers like UNAHCO, are providing dramatic growth potential and success for Avivagen. We also want to thank our colleagues who worked with the government in the Philippines to get this order cleared during challenging COVID-19 restrictions.�

About OxC-beta� Technology and OxC-beta� Livestock

Avivagen�s OxC-beta� technology is derived from Avivagen discoveries about ?-carotene and other carotenoids, compounds that give certain fruits and vegetables their bright colours. Through support of immune function the technology provides a non-antibiotic means of promoting health and growth. OxC-beta� Livestock is a proprietary product shown to be an effective and economic alternative to the antibiotics commonly added to livestock feeds. The product is currently available for sale in the United States, Philippines, Mexico, Taiwan, New Zealand, Thailand, Australia and Malaysia.

Avivagen�s OxC-beta� Livestock product is safe, effective and could fulfill the global mandate to remove all in-feed antibiotics as growth promoters. Numerous international livestock trials with poultry and swine using OxC-beta� Livestock have proven that the product performs as well as, and, sometimes, in some aspects, better than in-feed antibiotics.
