MSD Animal Health joins GSI

MSD Animal Health (known as Merck Animal Health in the United States and Canada) announced that it joins the Global Salmon Initiative (GSI), a leadership initiative undertaken by global producers of farmed salmon that seeks to make significant progress toward the sustainability of the salmon industry, minimizing both its ecological impact and improving its contribution to society.

"The global salmon business has a very bright future with strong demand and healthy growth," said Chris Beattie, head of Aquaculture at Merck Animal Health.

"We align very closely with GSI’s vision of providing a highly sustainable source of healthy protein to feed a growing global population, while minimizing its environmental footprint. With fish health and welfare central to the future success of salmon farming, we see a natural fit between MSD Animal Health and GSI," he added.

Through its incorporation into GSI, Merck Animal Health is committed "to supporting global salmon producers through a wide range of veterinary and fish health products and services to address the major aquaculture diseases in a sustainable way, both from an environmental and economic point of view," the company said.
