What Audevard does
Audevard (legal entity SAS Audevard, share capital of €546,896, registered at RCS Nanterre under No. 317 002 178) is a French veterinary pharmaceutical laboratory founded in 1986 and headquartered in Clichy, France, that operates as the only French pharmaceutical laboratory exclusively dedicated to equine health. The company develops and commercializes dietary supplements and medicines for horses organized across ten therapeutic categories — locomotion, respiratory, digestive, performance/recovery, muscles, dermatology, hooves, nutrition, senior horse, and breeding — with key brands including Ekyflex Arthro EVO, Ekyflex Tendon EVO, Ekygard+, Bo Yeas Act Ultra, Balsamic Air/Control, Myostem Mass, Immuno RS, Zzen, Zzen Flash and Lactofoal, alongside medicines such as Imaverol (antifungal), Nexmectin (anthelmintic) and Omeprogard (omeprazole gastric ulcer paste).
Its technical differentiation rests on pharmaceutical-grade formulation backed by cold granulation manufacturing (preserving ingredient efficacy), proprietary registered ingredient systems including the Pectigard Complex® (pectin-lecithin gastric complex), Mycosorb A+® Equine (yeast wall extract) and Actisaf® (probiotic yeast), high-concentration titrated ingredients, and an Anti-Doping Program (ADP) that provides downloadable compliance certificates for competition use. Audevard employs 11-50 staff and serves an international, multicultural team across 30+ countries.
The commercial model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce via audevard.com (with localized French, German and UK storefronts), supplemented by dedicated professional and consumer portals — the Veterinary Space for vets, pharmacies and professionals, and the Rider Space for horse owners, breeders and trainers. Products are sold on a per-unit basis at varying pack sizes with recurring repurchase for chronic conditions, across three primary customer segments: horse owners/riders, equine veterinarians and veterinary pharmacies, and breeders/stud farms, with secondary segments covering competition sport horses and senior horses (17+ years). Market positioning is described as leader in the European equine health and wellbeing sector.

Audevard competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Vetoquinol: French-headquartered animal health company with a dedicated equine line (including the Equistro supplement brand). Closest geographic and category analogue to Audevard, but operates across multiple species and is materially larger and listed.
- Ceva Santé Animale: French multinational animal health group covering pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and care products including equine. Comparable French origin and veterinary-pharma positioning, though far broader in species and geography than Audevard.
- Zoetis: Global leader in animal health with a significant equine portfolio including pharmaceuticals, parasiticides, and joint products. Competes with Audevard's Rx line (e.g., Omeprogard) and dwarfs it in scale and R&D budget.
- Elanco Animal Health: Large diversified animal health company with equine parasiticides and pharmaceuticals. Comparable as a multi-species incumbent competing in the same equine therapeutic categories as Audevard's Rx products.
- Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health: Top-tier global animal health player with equine vaccines, parasiticides, and therapeutics. Overlaps directly with Audevard's pharmaceutical range and could enter the equine supplement space from a position of financial strength.
Direct peers
- Platinum Performance: US equine and canine nutrition company focused on whole-horse wellness formulas with veterinary-channel distribution. Comparable premium equine supplement positioning and vet-driven GTM model.
- Cavalor: Belgian equine nutrition specialist offering premium supplements, feeds, and care products for sport and competition horses. Most direct head-to-head with Audevard in the European equine nutraceutical niche.
- Kentucky Equine Research: Equine nutrition research and supplement company with globally distributed products. Comparable equine-only focus, scientific-formulation positioning, and international reach through partner distributors.
- Equistro (Vetoquinol brand): Vetoquinol's equine supplement sub-brand offering nutraceuticals and electrolytes. Closest direct competitor at the SKU level, competing head-to-head in European equestrian channels against Audevard.
- Farnam (Central Garden & Pet): US-based equine care brand offering supplements, parasiticides, and grooming products. Comparable equine-only nutraceutical and care portfolio; serves as a benchmark for US-market competitive dynamics Audevard could expand into.
