WHO WE ARE

A trusted African partner in animal health and nutrition

We develop, manufacture and market veterinary pharmaceuticals and animal nutrition solutions designed for the realities of livestock production across African markets.

Our business brings together two complementary areas of expertise: Vetcare Animal Health, focused on veterinary pharmaceuticals and animal-health solutions, and Cibus Animal Nutrition, our specialist nutrition brand focused on animal performance, feed efficiency and productivity.

Across both areas, our approach is built on product quality, technical expertise, responsible innovation and strong relationships with farmers, veterinarians, distributors and industry partners.

OUR STORY

Vetcare Africa was established in 1991 with a long-term commitment to supporting animal health and livestock production in Africa.

Today, Vetcare Africa supports customers and partners across multiple African markets and continues to invest in manufacturing, product development, quality systems and the next generation of animal-health and nutrition solutions.
