The same applies for animals. Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health strives to foster the health and wellbeing of mankind by contributing to an adequate supply of safe, nutritious food and by promoting the emotional and physical benefits arising from the human animal bond.

Sustainability and a holistic health management for farm animals is one of the perspectives in Boehringer Ingelheim’s animal health business. Prevention is better than cure is the central concept in the field of  vaccines where Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health has become global leader.

Several measures in combination make it possible for the farmer to keep the animal in good condition. A close interaction of the veterinarian and the farmer is the foundation of an integrated farm animal health management. Regular visits and close monitoring of data on housing, nutrition, and hygienic situation on the farm form the basis and help to get an overview and offer the chance to interfere in time and before illness occurs.

With a wide range of highly effective vaccines, Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health addresses a number of threatening respiratory, reproductive and enteric diseases.

Ingelvac CircoFLEX^® protects with minimal systemic adverse reactions or injection site swellings and can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Our Ingelvac^® PRRS products are licensed for active immunisation against the respiratory and reproductive form of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS).
