Production of veterinary vaccines in the Sudan.
At present the number of domestic animals in the Sudan is approx. 89 millions. Animals disease control depends mainly on mass vaccination. The production of veterinary vaccines in the Sudan started as early as 1924 using the classical and conventional methods of production. The introduction of the Goettingen-IBT bioreactor technology for vaccine production to the Sudan in 1985 resulted in significant improvements in bacterial vaccine production both quantitatively and qualitatively. In addition to other benefits, the running cost of production was reduced by at least 80%. Plans are made to get the use of the Goettingen-IBT bioreactor technology, to produce other vaccines in the future.
