The large number of pets dying each year in Australia (which is home to 10 of the most venomous snakes in the world) might decrease, with the newly-developed anti-venom.
Xinhua news agency reported that Australian researchers from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have produced a more effective and lower cost anti- venom.
The anti-venom is expected to help reduce the number of cats and dogs dying due to bites by venomous snakes in Australia.
One of the most critical problems regarding a pet being bitten by a venomous snake in that country, is the inability of many pet owners to afford expensive and ineffective treatment.
Andrew Padula from Padula Serums, said the partnership with CSIRO helped turn his new anti-venom idea into a reality.
“I’ve been working on anti-venom serums for dogs and cats for a while now but I really needed the expert equipment and skills of the CSIRO scientists to make the best product possible,” Padula said in a statement on Friday.
Economic Times reported that “The new anti-venom treatment could also be used for treating humans with snakebites, or against the toxins of paralyzing ticks.
