Bovine mastitis, primarily caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, poses significant challenges for dairy farmers. Conventional antibiotic treatments, while common, can lead to antibiotic resistance and disrupt milk production due to quarantine measures. In response, MastPep, a peptide-based anti-infective developed by Peptidus, offers a sustainable solution. MastPep effectively combats mastitis without leaving residues in milk or the environment, eliminating the need for quarantine and reducing milk disposal for producers. This innovation stands as a promising step towards responsible and efficient dairy production.
Global dairy market size: ~ $ 893 billions
Mastitis may affect ~ 70% of the herd & treatment cost may reach ~$ 444/cow
Treatment and milk wastage: $2 billion/year

Indication Tissue regeneration
R&DTLR4
Licensingunder-licensing
Our PepR5 technology tackles two critical biological pathways: eradicating pathogenic bacteria at the infection site and promoting tissue healing, preventing bacterial infection recurrence. It also modulates the immune system and recruits cells to the infection site for healing. Importantly, this technology is distinguished by its dual-action therapy, treating both infection and promoting healing simultaneously. Being a peptidic molecule, it leaves no undesirable residues for patients or the environment. Additionally, our molecule's unique structural framework, the coil/N-cap/Helix, grants it superior stability under various conditions.
