The first of its kind for Elanco and the poultry industry, this new state-of-the-art facility is dedicated solely to manufacturing customized inactivated vaccines for the poultry industry. These vaccines will assist in providing solutions to unique disease challenges that cannot be addressed with commercially available vaccines.

“Elanco autogenous vaccines are different than commercial vaccines,” explains Milson Gondim D.V.M., Ph.D., and Vice President of Vaccine Operations Manufacturing for Elanco. “We manufacture these vaccines using flock-specific serotypes not found in commercial vaccines, which gives us the ability to offer poultry producers customized solutions to meet the needs of their specific operation.”

Providing customers with solutions to meet their needs

According to Tim Hopson, Elanco Poultry Senior District Sales Manager, the new dedicated autogenous facility reflects Elanco’s on-going commitment to meeting customers’ needs long-term.

“The poultry industry needs solutions that go beyond one-size-fits-all,” says Hopson. “The new facility here in Winslow reflects our commitment to providing our customers with the solutions they need to be productive, sustainable and profitable for years to come.”

In addition to autogenous vaccine production, the Winslow facility is also the only location in the U.S. that produces commercial live and inactivated poultry vaccines for Elanco.

“So whether our customers require a commercial vaccine or one that is customized, this new facility will enhance Elanco’s ability to meet their needs,” says Gondim.
