Médocs sold under the coat to Swiss breeders

A French veterinarian has sold controversial antibiotics or hormones to more than 200 farmers for several years. Some of which are labeled Bio Suisse.

Authorities dismantled a vast trafficking in animal medicines in May 2018, with the arrest of a French veterinarian near customs at Chavannes-de-Bogis (VD).

According to the “SonntagsZeitung”, the man crisscrossed Switzerland for several years with his all-terrain vehicle in order to sell under the prescription drugs – including controversial antibiotics and hormones – to more than 200 farmers. A large number of them are established in French-speaking Switzerland. Among its customers were not only milk producers, goat and sheep breeders, but also farmers working for the Bio Suisse label.
