Beef and dairy producers supported returning veterans in a big way through purchases of Cydectin® Pour-On this spring. Through the Cydectin Buck-a-Liter campaign, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. donated nearly $200,000 this summer to Wounded Warrior Project™. Beyond Cydectin's mission partnership with Wounded Warrior Project, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. ran a special program that would donate $1 for every liter of Cydectin Pour-On sold from March 1 to May 31, 2011. The Spring Buck-a-Liter program garnered an overwhelming response with a total of 199,780 liters of Cydectin Pour-on sold, which yielded a donation of $199,780 to Wounded Warrior Project. "Globally, Boehringer Ingelheim is committed to social responsibility; and our support of Wounded Warrior Project is just one example of this. We are so honored to support this worthy cause and hope this token of support through the Buck-a-Liter program can make a difference in the lives of returning veterans," says Colin Meyers, Executive Director, U.S. Cattle Business & Process Excellence with Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. through its Cydectin Pour-On product partnered with Wounded Warrior Project in 2010 to create the Cydectin Honor Our Troops program.

WWP works to raise awareness, and enlists the public's help in meeting the needs of injured service members. Over 45,000 of our nation's armed forces have been physically wounded during the current military conflicts. Hundreds of thousands more are estimated to be recovering from invisible wounds of war, including post-traumatic stress disorder, major depression, and traumatic brain injury. WWP assists wounded warriors and their families through a holistic approach to their recovery. Whether through caregiver retreats, combat stress programs, career and education services, or adaptive sporting opportunities, WWP empowers warriors with the tools essential to not just survive their injuries but to thrive and achieve personal and professional success.
