Zoetis has acquired Jurox, a privately held Australian animal health company which develops, manufactures and markets a range of veterinary medicines for treating livestock and companion animals.

The acquisition of Jurox brings Zoetis a valuable animal health portfolio, including Alfaxan, a leading anaesthetic product for companion animals and high-quality local R&D and manufacturing operations in Australia.

Stephanie Armstrong, Senior Vice President and Cluster Lead UK, BeNeLuX, Nordics & Ireland, said: “We are grateful to the O’Brien family for entrusting the future of this family-owned business to Zoetis.

"Jurox’s portfolio plays to the strengths of our core business and will be a complementary fit with the solutions we deliver to veterinary professionals, livestock producers and pet owners.

"With Zoetis’ global sales and regulatory expertise in more than 45 direct markets, we look forward to expanding the impact and reach of the entire Jurox portfolio here in the UK and Ireland.”
