Verm-X boss stars on BBC Gulf News



Verm-X's Philip Ghazala appeared on BBC Gulf News while exhibiting at a major pet trade show in the Middle East.

Now in its fifth year, the hugely successful VET Middle East exhibition (VETme) attracted businesses from across the globe once again, as financial growth in the Gulf continues.

Leading intestinal hygiene control company, Verm-X, attended the show for the second year running and enjoyed a 12% increase on last year’s visitor numbers.

Said Philip: “Our product range, including Verm-X for Camels and other exotic species, is in demand in the Middle East as the trend for reducing chemicals in animal husbandry is now a global happening.

“The natural and herbal ingredients in Verm-X provide vitamins, minerals and trace elements that contribute to overall health and wellbeing, in addition to intestinal hygiene control. 

“The packaging carries a ‘Veterinary Approved’ logo and an acknowledgement of the Veterinary Medicine Directorate's (VMD) acceptance to the marketing of Verm-X which differentiates Verm-X from the illegal marketing of any unlicensed products in the market place. Verm-X is also registered for use on organic holdings.”
