Founded with the mission to provide sustainable and antibiotic-free solutions, MK BIO SCIENCE leverages biotechnology and fermentation expertise to support healthier animal production systems.

Core Business

MK BIO SCIENCE specializes in the research, development, and production of natural functional feed additives, with a strong focus on probiotics, yeast cultures, and immune-stimulating agents. The company’s primary objective is to enhance animal health, improve feed conversion efficiency, and reduce reliance on antibiotics by harnessing the power of microbiology and fermentation.

Product and Service Offerings

MK BIO SCIENCE’s product portfolio includes:

• Probiotics

  • YEAST CULTURE: A proprietary fermentation product designed to optimize rumen fermentation in ruminants and improve digestion in monogastric animals. It enhances feed efficiency and stabilizes gut flora.

  • TASSIMON: A natural performance enhancer made from herbal extracts and microbial metabolites. It supports gut health, improves nutrient absorption, and enhances weight gain in poultry and pigs.

These solutions are based on patented fermentation processes, developed through in-house R&D and validated through animal trials in collaboration with universities and agricultural research centers.
