Durham, NC--Pfizer Poultry Health has introduced a broader, diversified
portfolio of products and services with the acquisition of Alpharma LLC
as part of Pfizer’s acquisition of King Pharmaceuticals. With the
acquisition of Alpharma, Pfizer Poultry Health now offers a wider
portfolio of products and services than any other global poultry
healthcare provider.
“The integration expands Pfizer Poultry Health’s product portfolio and
broadens the range of healthcare solutions we can offer our poultry
customers. It allows us to enter new therapeutic fields and deliver
increased expertise to poultry producers,” said José Francisco Ortiz C.,
Vice President, Pfizer Poultry Health & New Established Brands.
With this acquisition, Pfizer Poultry Health gains a portfolio of
medicated feed additives, water-soluble therapeutics and probiotics and
enters the poultry nutrition sector. These products complement Pfizer’s
existing range of biologicals, pharmaceuticals and devices and establish
Pfizer as a full solutions provider to poultry producers, according to
Ortiz. “Our customers will continue to benefit from the skill and
expertise of our field team, our industry-leading programs and services
and unwavering customer focus.”
The research and development platform established by Pfizer, integrated
with the research-laden history of Alpharma, will lead to further
advances in poultry health management for poultry producers worldwide.
“Pfizer Poultry Health is aiming to deliver a seamless transition for
existing and new customers, with business continuity a primary objective
during the integration process,” Ortiz said. “We now look forward to
working in partnership with our customers, sharing our strengthened
product and service portfolio and delivering unmatched healthcare
solutions to the poultry industry.”
