What C.V.E.M. CLINIQUE VETERINAIRE EQUINE DE MEHEUDIN does

C.V.E.M. Clinique Vétérinaire Equine de Méheudin, operating as MB Vétérinaires (MB VET), is a private specialized equine veterinary hospital group founded in 1978 by Dr. Claude Moisant and headquartered in Ecouché-les-Vallées, Normandie, France. The group operates two clinical sites — a 3,000 m² main hospital in Méheudin (42 boxes across 5 zones, 7 consultation rooms, three surgical blocks, a sports-medicine unit, neonatology, ophthalmology unit, and an internal Bactec bacteriology laboratory) and a satellite clinic, Site de la Boisrie (Nonant le Pin), acquired in 2021 — together with a dedicated Calvados field team launched in 2026. Its core services cover the full equine clinical spectrum: soft-tissue and orthopedic surgery (600+ procedures/year), internal medicine, sports medicine via a high-speed treadmill (up to 54 km/h), reproduction (gynecological monitoring of 2,000+ mares, IAC/IART, embryo transfer, infertility workups), ophthalmology (250+ cases/year, national referrals), neonatology, intensive care, dermatology, dentistry, osteopathy, and 24/7 emergency response, supported by the first mobile BodyTom CT scanner in Europe and an internal Bactec lab unique among French equine clinics.

The group employs approximately 50 people, including 26 veterinarians (9 partners, 11 salaried, 6 in long-term training) and 24 auxiliaries/administrative staff, with a hospital director coordinating operations. Revenue is generated entirely through fee-for-service professional services — consultations, surgeries, imaging, reproduction procedures, ambulatory field visits, and laboratory analyses — billed to individual horse owners, breeders (Norman Pur Sang and Trotteur studs), sport horse stables, racehorse trainers, and referring veterinarians. Distribution is hybrid: hospital-based care at Méheudin and La Boisrie, ambulatory field services across Normandy and Calvados, plus a referral network including CIRALE for MRI/scintigraphy and Jumenterie du Pin for stallion reproduction. Ownership is partner-led (9 associate veterinarians) with no external equity, and the group has formal training-hospital status including surgery (2023) and internal medicine (2025) residency programs, making it the 3rd private equine clinic in France with such accreditation.
