Lung Health: Every Breath Counts.

Healthy lungs: that’s the goal of the lung health platform. Because of the multiple roles the respiratory system plays, even minor impairment of functionality can impact an animal’s well being and performance. Helping veterinarians and farmers manage lung health is a major priority at Merck Animal Health. By providing products, services and knowledge, we help veterinarians and farmers provide a thorough and effective approach to maintaining healthy lungs in their herds.

Below is a brief list of our key products and services related to lung health.
