BIO ZOO

What BIO ZOO does

BIO ZOO, S.A. DE C.V. is a privately held Mexican veterinary pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in 1955 by Dr. Abelardo Martín Novelo in Guadalajara. The company develops, produces, and commercializes animal health products for two end-markets: production animals (bovine, ovine, caprine, porcine, equine, and poultry) and companion animals (dogs and cats). Its customer base consists of veterinary professionals and clinics that prescribe and administer its products. The company is headquartered in Zapopan, Jalisco, with operations formalized through a 1981 industrial plant and a directive committee structure established in 1990. It is registered as a Mexican S.A. DE C.V. corporation and operates under a 101–250 employee band.

The product portfolio spans more than 80 SKUs across biological vaccines (including the Inmunovax® registered trademark line, Viroguard® cattle vaccines, and Biobac multi-valent clostridial bacterins), antibiotics (penicillin combinations, enrofloxacin, oxytetracycline, cephalosporins), antiparasitics (ivermectin, abamectin, permethrin-based topicals), anti-inflammatories (meloxicam, prednisolone, flunixin), hormonal products (oxytocin, cloprostenol), immunostimulants, vitamin and nutritional supplements (PetWellness® Omega-3, PetWellness® Probióticos, Growlac® Pets), antifungals, and grooming products (Pet Life® shampoo line). Manufacturing is anchored at the Zapopan industrial plant under Quality Control Laboratory certification (2019) and Good Manufacturing Practices certification (2021). The company also operates a nonprofit subsidiary, Fundación BIO ZOO, focused on animal welfare campaigns and academic outreach.

BIO ZOO's commercial model is a sales-led B2B prescription channel: products are distributed through direct relationships with veterinarians and veterinary clinics, supported by country-specific websites in ten markets (Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, and the United States). Marketing combines a corporate website, an educational blog (La Vida Animal), social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, WhatsApp direct contact, and academic engagement with Mexican universities. The company was acquired in 1974 by Don Fidel Valdés y Jara, who inaugurated the industrial plant in 1981, initiated international expansion in 2010, and created the Fundación BIO ZOO in 2013. Revenue, pricing, ownership structure, and institutional investment are not publicly disclosed.
