intervet

Intervet was a global animal health company that provided a wide range of veterinary pharmaceuticals and related products. Founded in 1949, it grew through a series of mergers and acquisitions, establishing itself as a significant player in the animal health sector. The company focused on developing and manufacturing vaccines, parasiticides, antibiotics, and other treatments for both companion animals and livestock. Its product portfolio addressed numerous health concerns in animals, contributing to food safety and animal welfare.

In 2007, Intervet merged with Schering-Plough Animal Health, creating a new entity called Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health. This combined company continued to operate as a leading force in the industry. Later, in 2010, Merck & Co. (known as MSD outside the United States and Canada) acquired Schering-Plough. As a result, Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health became part of Merck Animal Health. The legacy of Intervet's contributions to animal health innovation and product development persists within the broader Merck Animal Health organization, which continues to serve veterinarians, farmers, and pet owners worldwide with advanced animal healthcare solutions.
