We will continue to push the limits to find new natural solutions to enhance animal health, performance and welfare, while we develop alternatives to antibiotic production, which is key to sustainable food production.

The use of natural ingredients for animal health is becoming increasingly important and we are proud to lead the move away from antibiotics, with our cutting-edge, drug-free natural solutions. Our nutraceutical ranges use renewable herbal ingredients and do not contain harmful chemicals and antibiotics.

Mervue products help to support sustainable farming globally. We are committed to reducing methane emissions in animals through improved gut health and are continuously researching and developing new products that will help the farming community to reduce its impact.
Our sister company, Inform Nutrition Ireland Ltd, is launching a €10,000 annual grant for sustainable farming in Ireland, to encourage farmers to develop innovations on the farm that support sustainability, animal well-being and lifetime productivity. Inform Nutrition is also working with Teagasc, the Irish agriculture and food development authority, on a project to further reduce methane emissions in animals.
