Our Mission

Vetagro - Mission

Rooted in the heart of Italy and family-owned since 1982, we bring people, science, and innovation together with purpose and passion. Through high-quality animal feed additives, we support the health of livestock and the success of those who care for them.

We are the trusted casa (home) people turn to, because they know we either have the answer or will go above and beyond to find it. With deep care for individuals, unwavering transparency, and a commitment to long-term stability, we are a catalyst for answers and relationships built to last.

Guided by tradition and driven by discovery, we honour our past while building a future where connection, clarity, and meaningful progress lead the way.

We do it all con cuore – with heart: #LikeNoOneElse.

 

Guidati dalla tradizione e guidati dalla scoperta, onoriamo il nostro passato mentre costruiamo un futuro in cui connessione, chiarezza e progresso significativo aprono la strada.

Heritage

Our technology since 1982.

We are Master in microencapsulation.
We were the first to use the matrix technology for rumen-bypass of amino acids in dairy cows. We then scaled up our expertise to intestinal slow-release in monogastric animals and aquatic
species. Our products are designed to guarantee a targeted delivery of active ingredients in the intestinal tract of animals.
Exactly where needed.
