The firm provides data and digital products for the animal health industry.

The National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) has welcomed Proagrica Animal Health as an associate member.

NOAH chief executive Dawn Howard commented: “We are delighted to welcome Proagrica Animal Health to NOAH and look forward to working with them. 

"Data and digital products and services are increasingly important for the animal health industry, from the need for greater efficiencies to improve productivity and sustainability, through to the demand for increased traceability of the food we eat." 

She added: “The UK animal health and medicines industry is high-value, high-growth, high-skilled and invaluable to the UK’s fast-developing life sciences sector.”

Richard Sibbit, managing director of Proagrica Animal Health, said: “We have joined NOAH to understand the challenges of the animal health industry so that we can help address some of them.

"We believe NOAH will also provide a great networking opportunity with the aim to raise the visibility of Proagrica and to connect to others within the industry. We are looking to get fully involved and provide a ‘digital voice’ to relevant sub-committees.”
