10:35GMT 05Nov2009-BTG falls on sales setback, pipeline delay

-------------------------------------------------------------

Shares in BTG (BGC.L) fall 5 percent after the British speciality pharmaceutical company suffers a setback to sales of its anti-poison drugs, and following delays in some of its pipeline products.

"Given that they had problems with the manufacturing of CroFab and DigiFab, that might be a concern, those sales were certainly lighter than we were expecting," says Jefferies analyst Philippa Gardner.
