Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops SSH-PLUS hydrolyzed squid liquid to replace imported squid liver products

Stricter requirements on quality and heavy-metal content are putting heavy pressure on the imported raw materials used by the animal feed industry, and imported squid liquid and squid liver paste can exceed permitted limits when their inputs are not consistently controlled. Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) has developed SSH-PLUS hydrolyzed squid liquid, a natural squid-based feed ingredient that stimulates feeding, improves feed intake and adds easily digestible protein while keeping raw-material quality under control. As a domestic hydrolyzed squid liquid, SSH-PLUS gives feed producers an alternative to imported squid liver paste, squid liquid and squid liver powder.

Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops Ecovital EM, a biological water treatment for aquaculture ponds

Uneaten feed, organic waste and accumulated bottom sludge can steadily degrade water quality in aquaculture ponds, releasing toxic gases and raising the risk of disease. Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) has developed Ecovital EM, a Bacillus spp. biological product that breaks down organic matter quickly, stabilises pond water and supports a more sustainable farming model. Used as a biological water treatment for aquaculture, Ecovital EM helps farmers keep water conditions steady while limiting waste build-up in the pond.

Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops chitosan as a natural preservative for pet food

Fresh, raw and wet foods lose quality fast as microorganisms, mould and oxidation attack their colour, smell, texture and shelf life. From Vietnamese shrimp by-products, Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops chitosan — a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin — as a preservation solution for raw, fresh and wet pet food. In VNF trials, chitosan sharply reduced microbial and mould counts and helped extend shelf life, giving pet-food makers a way to protect quality while reducing their reliance on synthetic additives.
