Um Fliegen zu vermeiden im Stall und am Pferd
Pfizer Gets License to Horse Fly Control
04.08.2005, 03:21 PM
Drug maker Pfizer Inc. has obtained a license to a product that, when included in a horse's food, can dramatically reduce the number of flies buzzing around stalls and stables.
Piedmont Pharmaceuticals Co. announced the deal Friday. Its Triad Specialty Products unit licensed the food additive to Pfizer's animal health division, which will market it under the name Solitude IGR. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the additive early last year. Triad now sells it under the brand name Serene.
It works by passing through to the horse's manure, where flies lay their eggs. The product targets immature eggs and takes about 5 to 6 weeks, the average life span of a fly, to show results. Triad's Web site says that a single horse's manure can yield 27,000 flies each day.
Common house flies transmit roundworms and pinkeye to horses, Piedmont said, while stable flies can transmit African horse sickness, swamp fever and anthrax to horses and transmit tuberculosis, myiasis, relapsing fever, anthrax, amoebic dysentery and leprosy to humans.
The product is nontoxic to horses, other mammals and beneficial insects, the company said.

Update 1: Morgan Stanley Upgrades Pfizer on Plan
04.06.2005, 12:41 PM
Morgan Stanley upgraded pharmaceutical leader Pfizer Inc. on Wednesday, saying the company's $4 billion cost-cutting plan will likely keep its profit margins from eroding.
Pfizer shares rose 9 cents to $26.99 in recent trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The stock saw heavy trading Tuesday after the company said it expects to return to double-digit earnings growth by next year, but Pfizer shares closed only slightly above their opening price.
The drugmaker's plan includes reducing staff, changing purchasing agreements and possibly closing additional plants.
Pfizer predicted that 2005 profit will fall by 6 percent as it continues to struggle with competition from generic drugs as well as safety concerns. Pfizer's Bextra and Celebrex pain medications have posted lower sales since those treatments and Merck & Co.'s Vioxx were linked to higher risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Morgan Stanley analyst Jami Rubin wrote in a report that Pfizer's plan exceeded his best-case scenario and removes the risk of margin degradation. Rubin raised his 2006-2007 estimates to $2.20 and $2.43 per share, respectively, and upgraded the stock to "Overweight" from "Equal Weight." He also set a target price of $32 for Pfizer shares.
On average, analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial expect Pfizer to report 2006 profit of $2.24 per share and 2007 earnings of $2.25 per share.
