Germany emphasizes animal welfare and ethics in veterinary medicine. The German market for veterinary medicine is driven by rising animal adoption & cattle population, increasing preventative care for animals, and growing awareness about the significance of the health of farm & companion animals in the country.
Furthermore, according to the International Committee for Animal Recording (ICAR), 50% of German farms specialize in livestock, which is anticipated to drive the veterinary medicine market.

The acquisition would provide Zoetis access to technological & existing species-specific antibody libraries and the opportunity to develop numerous novel veterinary products.
