REGISTERING NEW PRODUCTS FOR PIGS - (WHY ARE THERE SO FEW?)
P. Watson

Abstract
This paper deals with the economical problems relating to the development of new drugs for the livestock industry. It details the costs of such production and equates it with the associated profit of the manufacturers. It also touches on the actual market for those new products, including the willingness, or otherwise, of farmers to pay the necessary costs, with the consequent risks faced by the investors. The author is sanguine about the future of such pharmaceutical drugs and predicts a possible change in emphasis in favour of vaccines and biologicals generally.
