Neogen’s Ideal® Instruments subsidiary, founded in 1931, maintains a leadership role in the development of precision veterinary drug delivery instruments to help minimize drug residues that might otherwise find their way into meat and milk supplies. The company’s line of patented detectable needles greatly lessen the chance that a broken needle would ever arrive on a dinner plate. Neogen also offers its veterinary products through a continuing program of instituting exclusive supply agreements with major farm and ranch retailers.
