BioVeteria is developing a new veterinary F(ab’)2 snake antivenom (rattlesnake antivenom, rattlesnake antivenin) produced by Veteria Labs S.A. de C.V. in Mexico City, Mexico.  The polyvalent snake antivenom consists of F(ab’)2 fragments derived from horses hyperimmunized against snake venoms of Crotalus durissus and Bothrops asper.  BioVeteria’s antivenom is lyophilized and has rapid reconstitution properties.
