Chemeq shares jumped 46 per cent today after the company announced that it had shipped its first order of its polymeric anti-microbial product to South Africa for use in poultry.

"This marks the beginning," said the company in a statement to the market.

The product, which due to its priority was manufactured in Chemeq's APVMA-approved pilot facility, was an order in addition to a previously announced sale for AUD$1.5 million, which is conditional on the upcoming approval of the new manufacturing facility by the APVMA.

The company also announced that a US patent for manufacturing and marketing of Chemeq's product had been granted, extending the protection to 2020.
