IVC Evidensia has formed the Parasite Strategy Working Group, a global initiative which aims to get the veterinary profession to reapproach how it uses parasiticides in small animal practice.

The working group, which is led by Gudrun Ravetz, IVC's Group Chief Medical Officer, has been tasked with developing evidence-based, sustainable prescribing practices that protect animal health while safeguarding the planet.

The group comprises experts from within IVC Evidensia’s network who will collaborate with industry and academic partners including Vetoquinol, IDEXX, ESCCAP, and MSD Animal Health to deliver research, education, and practical tools for veterinary teams both inside and outside of IVC Evidensia practices.

Gudrun said: “We’re proud to be investing in this work and setting an example for the profession.

"Responsible parasiticide use is not just a clinical issue, it’s a sustainability imperative.”
