How Prevention Works

World-class vaccines

Preventing disease through vaccination plays a pivotal role in the management of swine health. Effective vaccination programs help keep pigs healthy and productive thus optimizing resource utilization and reducing the need for antibiotic treatments.

State of the art diagnostics

Our extensive expertise in vaccination and swine health is augmented by state-of-the-art diagnostic technology at our global diagnostic centres, in Ames, Iowa (USA), Shanghai Taizu (China) and Hanover (Germany).

Professional people with a passion for pigs

At Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health we want to work with you to ensure that together we can build an even brighter future for sustainable pig production and provide healthy pork for people across the world to enjoy. 

Support tools to monitor the benefit of prevention

We want to ensure that we can make prevention work for you, which is why we offer you tools that allow you to evaluate the success and sustainability of prevention.
