We specialize in productivity enhancers for ruminants, companion animals, pigs, and poultry, ensuring that every species under our care reaches its full potential.

A Legacy of Research in South Africa

As a research-driven organization, we take immense pride in operating the only company-owned animal health research unit in South Africa. Located in the heart of the Kaalrug Valley in the Mpumalanga Lowveld—just 26 km from the Kruger National Park—our fully accredited Malelane Research Unit is the heartbeat of our innovation.

The unit serves as a global hub for the development and testing of new ecto- and endoparasitic treatments. By utilizing our resident cattle herd within pastures naturally infested with ticks, we are able to conduct real-world testing on the safety and activity of our drugs.

Advancing Agriculture Through Technology

We don’t just create products; we provide solutions. Our Malelane facility is at the forefront of:

• Tick Management: We test for resistance to various ectoparasiticides and provide farmers with tailored advice on which compounds to use through our proprietary tick management system.
• Worm Resistance Testing: Using Faecal Egg Count Reduction Tests (FECRT), we help farmers navigate the complexities of endoparasitic resistance.
• Knowledge Sharing: We regularly host information days to keep farmers and industry stakeholders updated on the latest advancements in disease control and livestock management.

Expert Support for Every Farm

The MSD GLOBAL GROUP sales team is backed by our prestigious Veterinary Services Department. With nine highly qualified veterinarians on staff, we offer unparalleled expertise across beef, dairy, small livestock, companion animals, pigs, and poultry.

Our vision is simple: to remain entirely service-focused and provide South African farmers with the optimal, science-backed solutions needed to thrive in a competitive global market.
