Prevent infectious diseases in all animals

Prevention is better than cure. That's what vaccination is all about. It contributes to the rational use of curative treatments, prevents transmission to other animals and humans, and is the foundation of global health security. 

Since our founding, we have built up a wealth of knowledge in virology and bacteriology and have developed landmark biological products. Through our broad range of safe and reliable vaccines, we help improve the quality of life for farm and companion animals and preserve biodiversity and ecosystems for the future.

VACCINATION, THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR PREVENTIVE APPROACH TO ANIMAL HEALTH

Biology has been part of our DNA since our founding more than 50 years ago. Trained at the Institut Pasteur, our founder, Pierre-Richard Dick, acquired the knowledge that would pave the way for our first vaccines. Over the years, we have developed landmark products for companion and farm animals, and even wildlife: the first homologous vaccine against canine parvovirus, the first genetically modified vaccine against feline leukemia, the first helicopter-borne oral vaccine for foxes, which has actively contributed to the success of rabies eradication programs in Europe. Over the years, we have expanded our portfolio to respond to the many disease risks facing animals today. True to the pioneering spirit that has driven us from the beginning, our teams work every day to forge partnerships and develop the vaccines of tomorrow.

PROTECTING OUR PETS ALSO PROTECTS US

Dogs and cats are subject to various infectious diseases, some of which are fatal, such as canine parvovirus, feline leukemia, or others like rabies and leptospirosis which can also be transmitted to humans. The severity of these diseases, the lack of effective treatment for most of them, and their highly contagious nature make appropriate preventive measures essential. By stimulating the body's immune system, vaccination enables it to resist bacteria and viruses, providing the best possible protection for animals and humans alike. Since the 1980s, our teams have been developing solutions to combat major pet diseases. Every day, supported by our international network of R&D and production centers, they continue to work on a global scale to combat emerging diseases that are poorly controlled or represent new epizootic risks.

COLLECTIVE AND LONG-TERM PROTECTION FOR FARM ANIMALS

Ensuring access to quality food for the world's growing population, while maintaining animal health and welfare, means adapting farming techniques and focusing on prevention. Our global approach to ruminants, swine and aquaculture health focuses on solutions that increase animal resistance and resilience, particularly through vaccination. Our solutions address the most common infectious diseases worldwide: enteric, reproductive and respiratory diseases in cattle, porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), and the major aquaculture diseases in both warm and cold waters. Preventive vaccination helps to limit the occurrence of infectious diseases, their spread within farms and their severity, especially the occurrence of clinical signs. It provides protection for the whole group, avoiding unnecessary suffering and losses, while reducing the need for treatments, for a more harmonious and sustainable growth of the species.
