Focusing on Sustainability

We recognize there is an undeniable connection between animals, humans and our shared environment. At Merck Animal Health, we are investing in science-backed solutions that can make a real and meaningful impact in keeping the planet healthier.

We develop veterinary medicines, vaccines, health management solutions and services as well as an extensive suite of connected technology that includes identification, traceability and monitoring products that address existing and unmet animal health needs. Taking a One Health approach, we collaborate with others both within and outside of our industry as part of our commitment to sustainability.

At Merck Animal Health, we continue to invest in strategic, interconnected solutions aimed at changing how the industry feeds the world more sustainably – both now and for generations to come.

We shape the future of animal health and well-being by pioneering science, technology, and insights-driven solutions for a world focused on the health and welfare of pets and a sustainable food supply.

We recognize that the health of animals, humans and our shared environment are inextricably linked.

We honor our commitment to improve the health of the world by using resources responsibly. Learn more about our One Health commitment.
