About Nimrod Veterinary Products

Nimrod Veterinary Products Ltd was founded in 2007 by David Renney, a veterinary surgeon with a particular interest in farm-animal and equine medicine.

We make or find novel tools for the veterinary surgeon, particularly innovations that will benefit from our expertise and technical support. We believe the vet is the best person to advise farmers and horse-keepers on the health, welfare, productivity and performance of their animals. And within our fields of expertise, we support vets in doing so.

We are a corporate member of the National Office of Animal Health (NOAH). The NOAH’s aim is to promote the benefits of safe, effective, high-quality medicines for the health and welfare of animals.

Management Board

D. J. Renney MRCVS, Managing Director

David Renney graduated from the Royal Veterinary College of the University of London. He worked in mixed practice in Northamptonshire, then entered the veterinary pharmaceutical industry as a veterinary adviser. He has 30 years’ experience of the veterinary pharmaceutical industry, principally in business development, sales and marketing. This experience includes work in most of the major European markets, South-East Asia and the Middle East.

He was responsible for the introduction of pump-drenching for fluid therapy and clinical nutrition for cows in the UK in 2003, and subsequently in the Irish Republic. The technique is now universal in cattle practice. His other interests are the use of antibiotics in horses and competitive exclusion in poultry. He provides continuing education to Nimrod’s customers in these fields, and gives seminars to the large-animal elective students at the Bristol and Surrey University veterinary schools.
