Its wide range of vaccines and medicines are used in the prevention and treatment of the main pathologies for both companion and food-producing animals.

AN EXPERT IN ANIMAL HEALTH
Over the last forty years Virbac has become the world's first independent animal health company dedicated to animal health and a recognised expert in the sector, offering products and services that combine quality, effectiveness and convenience for care providers (veterinarians and animal owners).

Present in more than 100 countries the company has more than 4,100 employees. Quoted on the Paris Stock Exchange since 1985 Virbac has remained a family company, not only as regards its shareholding but also through its management principles, its culture and its company values.

40 YEARS OF INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE
International presence has been an integral part of Virbac's strategy since the very beginning. Starting in 1978, group expansion abroad speeded up progressively in the 1980s and then in the 1990s. Today Virbac is present in all 5 continents, with around 87% of its sales made outside of France.
