Promoting Innovation

Merial has a history of ground breaking innovation. We offer technically advanced products supported by the industry’s foremost research and development program. Our worldwide network of laboratories enables us to achieve innovative solutions for both livestock and pets.

Many Merial products are considered gold standards of veterinary medicine, including IVOMEC® brand products for parasite control in livestock, FRONTLINE® brand products for flea and tick control in dogs and cats, and HEARTGARD® brand products for heartworm prevention in dogs and cats.

Merial is a pioneer in the field of veterinary biologicals—the largest supplier of rabies vaccines globally and a recognized innovator in the development of safer, more effective vaccines through the use of recombinant canarypox vector technology.

Merial is at the forefront in bringing needle-free technology to the animal health community, with the introduction of VET JET™, the first transdermal vaccination system for companion animal veterinarians.

Merial brought to the marketplace the first preventive, clinically-applied product designed specifically for animal dental care with the introduction of OraVet™. And we announced our entry into the cattle implant market with DURALEASE™ (estradiol benzoate), a first-of-its-kind implant that uses liquid suspension technology.

Merial is harnessing cutting-edge technology for use in managing livestock with IGENITY™, a revolutionary cattle DNA testing service. With this service, cattle producers around the world can uncover the production potential of animals within their herd by simply submitting hair follicle samples.

We also actively seek to improve animal health through innovative partnerships with leaders in pharmaceutical and biological research and development.
