BC Partners acquired Allflex in July 2013 (since renamed Antelliq) from the long-term owner of the business. Initially a pure provider of identification devices to farmers, since its original acquisition, BC Partners supported management in transforming Antelliq into the worldwide leader in animal intelligence, providing solutions for the management of livestock, pets and fish.

Antelliq is now the world’s leading animal intelligence group, providing world-class devices for animal identification, monitoring, and traceability. Its pioneering monitoring solutions deliver smart data products and services for the management and wellbeing of livestock, fish and pets. These solutions help veterinarians, farmers and pet owners gather critical data to improve management, health and well-being of livestock and pets and use digital technology to help respond to the growing demand for protein, food traceability and food safety.

As a truly innovative market leader with a clear vision and dynamic team, Antelliq has significant potential to continue leading the industry, as the use of intelligence, data and technology play an increasingly important role in animal health and care and on the back of strong trading, in December 2018, the Fund entered into an agreement with Merck to sell the company, which completed in March 2019.
