An Ottawa life sciences company that makes a natural health compound designed to boost the immune systems of livestock reported a significant jump in revenues and secured the largest recurring order in its history in the second quarter.
Avivagen, which trades on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada and the OTCQB Venture Market in the U.S., said it had revenues of nearly $160,000 in the three-month period ending April 30, up from just under $30,000 a year earlier.
The firm also posted a loss of $2.2 million, compared with a loss of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2020.
