Cannabis and hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) has the potential to boost the pet care business, following the first-ever development of new CBD-based products for animals in Thailand, says Bioscience Animal Health Plc (BIS), an animal drug and vaccine provider.
CBD is known for its medical benefits to treat many human ailments, but according to BIS researchers and experts from Kasetsart University, the substance can be also mixed with skincare products or produced as CBD oil for use with animals.
The new products, which were jointly developed by BIS and Kasetsart University, are expected to strengthen the company's position in the pet market, which is growing steadily, said Poramase Kampak, veterinarian and chief operating officer of BIS.
