Cydectin, a pour-on cattle dewormer manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, has become the first industry sponsor of the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). The WWP is a nonprofit, founded in 2003, whose mission is to enlist Americans’ aid to help meet the needs of injured service members.

“Our troops give the ultimate sacrifice by serving on the front lines for us each day,” says Mike Randolph, Cydectin brand manager. “One of the most fundamental offerings we give them is our respect and support … and to help them succeed when they return.”

The industry’s first collaborative effort with Wounded Warrior Project, Cydectin’s “Honor Our Troops” program, demonstrates support and gratitude for wounded veterans of today’s wars on behalf of beef and dairy producers.

“It is an honor to partner with Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, and we thank the company for doing its part to support wounded warriors,” said Wounded Warrior Project Executive Director Steve Nardizzi. “This assistance and public awareness will go a long way in helping this generation of veterans heal in mind, body and spirit.”

The WWP assists wounded veterans and their families by providing holistic programs and services to aid their physical rehabilitation and improve their mental health and well-being. The tools provided ultimately empower warriors to thrive and achieve personal professional success.
