Looking back.
Thinking forward.
Driving innovation.

For more than 50 years, we’ve been at the forefront of cattle vaccination, playing a crucial leadership role in the advancement of vaccine science and technology, and helping to pave the way for healthier herds.

We’re proud of the breakthroughs we’ve achieved (and those still to come), and of the cutting-edge cattle vaccines – many of which were industry firsts – that we’ve developed over the years to meet the changing needs of producers and veterinarians.

Join us on a trip down “innovation lane”

Did you know that we owe the development of vaccines – a discovery that has changed the face of history – to the cow?

All cattle vaccines from Merck Animal Health now live under the BOVILIS® name. They’re the same vaccines – only with updated names and packaging. Each product has its own distinct color and is clearly marked, making it easy to ensure you’re selecting the right vaccine at the right time.
