We at Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health understand that a farmer’s livestock are their livelihood and when farmers thrive and their livestock are healthy, looking great inside and out, we are proud to have played a role in supporting them to maximise the health, productivity and wellbeing of their stock.
For over 40 years, we have been ploughing our knowledge and expertise into developing and manufacturing pioneering ruminant anti-parasitic treatments that have revolutionised worm control and helped farmers in their battle against parasites.
However, it does not stop there; every year, we invest millions into researching and developing innovative treatments that kill deadly parasites and prioritise animal wellbeing. Our efforts go well beyond our product range…
We are dedicated to looking for more sustainable ways to detect, monitor and prevent disease, to tackle anthelmintic resistance and safeguard animal health, today and tomorrow.
Innovation has always led the battle against parasites and Boehringer Ingelheim has played a huge part in that story, and we will continue to do so. Joining forces with farmers – taking on the fight against parasites, together.
Beat the Parasites is our campaign to unite with farmers and arm them with the knowledge, the tools and the products to help detect, manage and treat the worm burdens on their farms.
Join with us in beating the parasites on farm.
