The herbal spray, stated to have no equivalent in the world and produced by the academics of Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University (MAKÜ), was introduced to the public as a significant success in the fight against foot-and-mouth disease. The product, launched under the name "Boviral Sprey," is said to enable animals affected by foot-and-mouth disease to start eating again in as little as 15–20 minutes.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in foot-and-mouth disease cases in Burdur and surrounding provinces, as well as across Turkey. To prevent the spread of the disease, animal markets in many regions were closed, and quarantine measures were implemented in some settlements. This situation led to both producers being unable to bring their animals to market and significant economic losses in the livestock sector. The Boviral Sprey developed at Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University stood out as an important alternative offering solutions to the problems faced by producers during the quarantine process, with its applicable structure in the field and rapid effect.

A promotional meeting was held for the "Boviral Sprey," developed by Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University (MAKÜ) Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Lecturer Prof. Dr. Mehmet Kale, Research Assistant Yakup Sinan Orta, and Ayge Veterinary Diagnosis Analysis R&D Industry and Trade Ltd. Co. Manager Specialist Veterinarian İbrahim Oğuz Gayaker, with the production license belonging to MasterVet Animal Health Products Industry and Trade Ltd. Co.

Speaking at the meeting, Rector Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Dalgar emphasized that the livestock sector has been experiencing serious difficulties due to foot-and-mouth disease recently. Noting that animal markets were closed and producers suffered great losses due to the disease, Dalgar said, "It is extremely valuable that our university professors quickly took action and developed a product that offers a direct solution to the field during this process."

Dalgar stated that all trial processes of the developed Boviral Sprey have been completed and it has been launched on the market, and said that the product, being in the form of an oral spray, contributes to the rapid healing of oral wounds caused by foot-and-mouth disease. Dalgar said, "The resumption of feeding by animals accelerates the treatment process and prevents animal losses. In this respect, Boviral Sprey is not only an academic study but also a strategic product that directly contributes to producers, the sector, and the national economy."

Drawing attention to the increase in consumption before the month of Ramadan, Dalgar stated that with the spread of the product during this period when animal markets are starting to reopen, they foresee that the sector will be relieved and economic losses will decrease. He emphasized that this work of the university, which conducts studies in the field of livestock with the support of KOSGEB, also made breeders smile.

Project manager Prof. Dr. Mehmet Kale said that foot-and-mouth disease is one of the biggest problems for regions engaged in livestock. Emphasizing that the most critical point in the treatment of the disease is the animal's eating, Kale said, "If the animal is not eating, no application makes sense. We focused on developing a solution that would first comfort the animal and ensure it eats."

Kale stated that the Boviral Sprey, which emerged as a result of long-term studies and field applications, is a plant-based product based on aromatherapy and phytotherapy, with its chemical load kept to a minimum and having a structure that can be considered organic. Emphasizing that there is absolutely no anesthetic substance in the product, Kale said, "We adopted an approach that supports the animal's natural healing process, not centering the product developed for the disease."

Kale stated that after the application of Boviral Sprey, the animal starts eating within 15–20 minutes and then naturally turns to water, and they observed significant improvement in oral swelling and lesions even in advanced cases within five days. "We achieved results even in the most severe cases. In most cases, the animal starts eating within at most half an hour," said Kale, thanking the project team for their efforts.

The developed Boviral Sprey is expected to provide significant relief to producers in the fight against foot-and-mouth disease and make a substantial contribution to the livestock sector.

Ispartalı breeder İbrahim Kargalı, who used the product, stated that the foot-and-mouth disease seen in his animals changed positively within 15–20 minutes thanks to the Boviral Sprey produced by the university. Kargalı expressed that within this short time, the eating and drinking of his animals improved, their immunity strengthened with the start of eating and drinking, and the animals responded to treatment in a very short time.

The promotional meeting was attended by MAKÜ Rector Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Dalgar, Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Hakan Öner, Dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çağrı Karakurum, KOSGEB Burdur Provincial Director Davut Tolga Uğur, President of Burdur Cattle Breeders Association Kamil Özcan, project team, veterinarians, academics, and members of the press.
