Matthieu Frechin, Chairman and CEO of Vetoquinol (Paris:VETO), commented: "Our sales in Q3 2023 were marked by a dynamic activity and stronger negative currency impacts than in the first half. In a global animal health market still driven by prices, we are pursuing the launches and ramp-up of our new Essentials, the drivers of our long-term strategy."
