The swine division of Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., traces its U.S. roots back to the early 1900s when hog cholera was the devastating disease of the period for hog producers. Over the last 100 years, and after several name changes and acquisitions – including Fermenta Animal Health and NOBL Laboratories, Sioux Center, Iowa, and its Swine Health Management Center, Ames, Iowa – the swine division has been on the cutting edge of swine health innovation.
