Intervet is a major and ethical global animal health company. We stand for high quality products backed up by service from knowledgeable and professional employees. We also see ourselves very much as an important partner to farmers (and other animal owners) as they seek to produce high quality and safe food for the global consumer, in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner. Thus, we fully agree with having strict national and/or regional regulations in place for the research, production and marketing authorisation of animal health products. Intervet wants to work hand-in-hand with the responsible regulatory authorities of national governments to safeguard the health and safety of the owner, consumer and animal. We think that it is in the interest of all concerned to see as much regulatory harmonisation as possible between countries, especially in one region, and we will do whatever we can to help. At the end of the day, what each interested party wants is to have good products (a) meeting all the requirements (quality, safety, efficacy) and (b) being available to the animal producer/owner as quickly as possible.

With Intervet's R&D centres, vision and commitment to global aquaculture in place, the future looks bright.
