ABOUT VETLIFE |
VetLife - The Performance Professionals®
VetLife was founded in 1995 when a small group of professionals experienced
in the development and marketing of growth-promoting
implants met with leading feedyard owners and managers to identify
their needs, and then created a new company based on their advice
and guidance. VetLife began marketing Ivy Animal Health’s growth-promoting
implants in 1996 and became its sales and marketing division when
Ivy acquired VetLife in 1998. Effective June 29, 2007, Ivy Animal Health. Inc., and its divisions, VetLife,
AgSpan and Ivy Natural Solutions, became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Elanco Animal Health. This partnership will serve as a strategic collaboration,
creating synergies across existing platforms, in addition to current and future research efforts.
Today, VetLife is a leader in important feedlot management issues
and has introduced a number of programs and services that enhance
customer profitability, including the Benchmark®
Performance Program, V•Net® Implant Management
System, Zero Defect Implant (ZDI) training and services and Component®
with Tylan®. Component with Tylan is unique to
the implant industry. It’s a patented combination of a growth
implant with Tylan (tylosin tartrate), a localized antibacterial.
Component with Tylan implants improve the health of every
implant site thereby allowing maximum implant performance.
Broadest line of implants available
The Performance Professionals at VetLife recognize the fact that
a single implant program does not fit every operation. Different
types of cattle, different marketing programs and other management
variables require individualized implant programs tailored to
specific needs and objectives. To meet these needs, VetLife markets
22 different cattle implant products, the broadest and most complete
product line in the industry. The product line includes 22 products
sold under the Component and Component with Tylan brands, plus
two long-acting implants, Compudose® and Encore®.
VetLife’s unique products and customized services have helped
VetLife become the market share leader in the feedlot implant
market. All growth-promotant implants and devices are manufactured
in the industry’s newest, state-of-the-art facility on the corporate
campus in Overland Park, Kansas. The manufacturing team takes
great pride in delivering a top-quality product.

Leader in information management
VetLife introduced the Benchmark Performance Program in 1996 as
an information management service to the feedlot industry. Since
its introduction, the data, analysis and interpretation that are
included in the Benchmark program have become a valuable management
tool for over 300 of the largest feedlots in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The Benchmark database represents almost one-half of U.S. cattle feeding capacity.
The Benchmark Performance Program is the most comprehensive cattle database
in the industry. It includes live and carcass results, animal
health treatments, mortality information, financial factors and
feed additive and feed intake data. The Benchmark program is growing
at an annual rate of more than 10 million head of live performance data
per year.
Optimizing heifer performance
VetLife’s newest product is HeifermaX®
500, a liquid premix that increases rate of weight gain, improves
feed efficiency and suppresses estrus in feedlot heifers. The
use of HeifermaX is additive to the production and economic benefits
of growth-promoting implants. VetLife is uniquely qualified to
help its heifer feeding customers develop total production, management
and marketing programs to optimize heifer performance.
