Why We Innovate

At the heart of MSD Animal Health’s poultry team is a hunger for discovery and a desire to find new ways to solve problems so that we may add value to our customers’ jobs and play our part in raising healthier animals. Innovation provides a gateway to evolve industry practices, and MSD Animal Health has never stopped innovating to provide first-in-class solutions for veterinarians, farmers and producers.

“We need to be a step ahead. We need to be anticipating all the needs that the industry may have in the coming years, so we need to think outside the box.”

“What motivates me is talking to people, helping with training and helping to develop studies that involve applied research. It’s so diverse.”

-Alex Reilley, Technical Services Veterinarian, Poultry

“The industry is still growing; flocks, hatcheries, and farms will be coming bigger, so there is a need for more information. MSD Animal Health is prepared to grow with the industry and bring suitable products.”

“One of the biggest problems that a hatchery manager faces is being blamed for whatever goes wrong in the first 7 days with baby chicks. It isn’t always the hatchery manager’s fault. We believe everyone works together much better when we know where the problem’s coming from.”

-Linnea Newman, Global Technical Director, Poultry
