XI'AN, China, Oct. 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Skystar Bio- Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd ("Skystar"), a leading bio- pharmaceutical company in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), today announced the launch of its new Cure King brand of veterinary medicines.

The Cure King brand is currently comprised of 26 products in three categories of Western and traditional Chinese medicines ("TCM"). The first category includes eight injectable medicines aimed at treating diarrhea, mastitis, secondary infections caused by viruses, respiratory infections, loss of appetite and other infectious diseases in pigs. The second category has 11 products in powder form that address intestinal infections, respiratory infections and diseases in young birds, as well as coccidiosis, ovaritis and nutrient-deficient diseases in chickens. The third category includes seven compound TCMs that focus on treating diarrhea, viral infections, slow gastrointestinal movements and colds in livestock. All 26 medicines have been approved by the Ministry of Agriculture for GMP-certified production. Skystar plans to increase its Cure King portfolio to meet ongoing market demand based on market response and disease cycles.

"Based on nationwide market research, we have found certain diseases to be prevalent in livestock. A unified brand targeting the treatment of these diseases is precisely what the market needs given the lack of consistency and number of inferior medicines on the market. We are committed to addressing this unmet need and enhancing our market penetration by providing reliable, effective and quality treatments," commented Mr. Weibing Lu, CEO and Chairman of Skystar.

Skystar will market the Cure King line through regular advertisements in major trade publications along with a brochure that contains in-depth information on a variety of common diseases and specific instructions for the appropriate treatments. The Company also provides seminars in local villages to educate farmers on diagnosing and treating various livestock aliments. Cure King is a registered trademark brand.
