USA – Anpario Inc., a leading manufacturer of natural, sustainable animal feed additives, has completed its acquisition of Bio-Vet Inc., a prominent US-based producer of animal health and nutrition products.
This strategic move strengthens Anpario’s portfolio by combining its expertise in natural feed additives with Bio-Vet’s renowned direct-fed microbial solutions, particularly in the US ruminant market.
Established in 1996 and headquartered in Barneveld, Wisconsin, Bio-Vet specialises in innovative products that support livestock health and improve farm profitability.
Its offerings, including the patented Capsule-In-A-Capsule delivery system, have made Bio-Vet a significant player in the animal health industry.
The company’s focus on improving animal productivity and supporting livestock’s natural biological processes aligns seamlessly with Anpario’s vision of delivering sustainable solutions.
Richard Edwards, CEO of Anpario, highlighted the potential of the acquisition, stating:
“This presents a phenomenal opportunity for Anpario. We’ve already identified strong synergies across our brands, particularly in our shared commitment to high-quality, cost-effective solutions that work harmoniously with the animal’s natural biology. Together, we will be ideally placed to help farmers enhance productivity while ensuring animal health and welfare.”
Bio-Vet’s focus on direct-fed microbials, which account for approximately half of its sales, complements Anpario’s renowned products, such as Orego-Stim, a leading phytogenic additive based on high-quality oregano oil, and Optomega.
Anpario’s global presence and Bio-Vet’s market expertise in the US dairy sector will allow the combined entity to deliver a broader range of solutions to boost animal performance and farm profitability.
Bio-Vet’s production facility in Wisconsin will serve as a key platform for Anpario’s ambitions in the Americas.
The acquisition enhances Anpario’s production capabilities, complementing its UK-based facility in Manton Wood.
Anpario’s expanded presence in the US will provide a foundation for future growth in North and South America, particularly in the dairy and ruminant sectors.
The merger is pivotal for the industry as consumer demand for natural, antibiotic-free food production grows and global sustainability trends drive the need for higher farm productivity.
Anpario and Bio-Vet will accelerate the development of next-generation solutions, combining phytogenics with microbial technologies to enhance animal health, feed efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
Dr. Nate Haas, President of Bio-Vet, expressed excitement about the future:
“We are thrilled to unite with a company that shares our values and innovative outlook. The combined strengths of Anpario and Bio-Vet will allow us to serve customers better globally and drive new advancements in animal health and nutrition.”
