Company Overview
Founded with a vision to drive sustainable animal agriculture through innovation, Union Formosa Biochemistry Co., Ltd. leverages biotechnological advancements to develop next-generation feed solutions. The company combines proprietary technologies with rigorous scientific validation to create additive formulations that enhance animal metabolism, gut health, and reproductive performance.
Union Formosa’s leadership is guided by Mr. Albert Liao, who brings a blend of scientific and commercial expertise, enabling the company to align product development with the evolving demands of animal health and nutrition sectors.
Core Competencies and Product Categories
Union Formosa’s product portfolio is centered around two primary categories:
1. Functional Feed Additives
Designed to meet the species-specific nutritional requirements and physiological needs of:
- Broilers and Layers: Supplements aimed at improving feed conversion ratio (FCR), immunity, bone strength, and egg quality.
- Swine: Additives supporting gut health in weaners, reproductive performance in sows, and lean meat yield in finishers.
- Ruminants: Solutions enhancing fiber digestion, milk yield, and reproductive health in dairy and beef cattle.
- Aquaculture Species: Functional nutrition to support immunity, growth, and water quality management in shrimp, tilapia, and other cultured fish.
These feed additives are enriched with peptides, amino acids, organic trace minerals, and natural metabolic enhancers.
2. ROE 2.0 Technology Products
Union Formosa’s proprietary ROE 2.0 (Reproductive & Organ Efficiency) technology represents a significant innovation in animal biotechnology. This platform uses bioactive peptides and micronutrient complexes to:
- Improve ovarian and testicular function
- Enhance embryo viability and litter size in swine
- Shorten inter-calving intervals in cattle
- Increase reproductive hormone regulation without pharmaceutical intervention
These products are widely adopted in high-performing farms seeking to optimize fertility, reduce reproductive failure, and improve lifetime productivity of breeding animals.
Scientific Research and Innovation
Union Formosa operates with a strong R&D orientation, investing in:
- Peptide synthesis and screening for metabolic modulation
- In vivo and in vitro testing of feed additives in collaboration with universities and commercial farms
- Microencapsulation technologies to improve bioavailability and target release
- Development of non-antibiotic alternatives aligned with global AMR (antimicrobial resistance) reduction strategies
Ongoing research is directed toward improving mitochondrial efficiency, reducing oxidative stress, and enhancing epigenetic expression linked to reproductive traits.
Manufacturing and Quality Standards
The company’s manufacturing facility in Douliu City adheres to international best practices:
- GMP+ certified for feed additive production
- ISO-compliant internal QA/QC systems
- Regular audits and validation for consistency, traceability, and safety
- Advanced laboratory infrastructure for molecular, biochemical, and microbiological testing
Products are distributed in stable, easy-to-apply forms including powders, granules, and water-soluble additives, ensuring compatibility with existing feed mill and on-farm practices.
Market Reach and Customer Base
Union Formosa’s client portfolio includes:
- Commercial feed mills
- Integrated livestock and aquaculture companies
- Animal health distributors
- Breeding farms and genetic companies
While its core market is Taiwan, the company is expanding its footprint across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East. Strategic growth is also underway into export markets such as:
- Vietnam
