Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops a Peptides & Chitosan duo to support gut health in pets

Around 70% of the immune system sits in the gut, and most serotonin — the hormone linked to feelings of wellbeing — is also produced there, so when a pet’s gut is out of balance the effects can reach beyond digestion to immunity, nutrient absorption and overall health. From shrimp raw materials, Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) has developed a Peptides & Chitosan duo that supports pet gut health through three main mechanisms. As a shrimp-based solution for gut health in pets, the Peptides & Chitosan pairing works on the microbiome, the intestinal barrier and digestion together.

Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops ChitoPal-D, a chitosan solution for dental care in pets

Bad breath, plaque and gum inflammation in dogs and cats usually begin with the build-up of bacteria on the teeth and gums, and if left unchecked can lead to bleeding, damage to the tissue around the teeth and long-term oral health problems. Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) has developed ChitoPal-D, whose main ingredient is chitosan — a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin — that adheres to the teeth and gums and supports antibacterial action. As a chitosan solution for dental care in pets, ChitoPal-D helps limit bacterial build-up, reduce plaque formation and support periodontal health.

Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops ChitoPal-C, a chitosan solution to support cholesterol control in pets

Elevated cholesterol and triglycerides can quietly affect the metabolic health and quality of life of dogs and cats, raising the question of how to support blood-lipid control in a way that is safe and suitable for long-term use. Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) has developed ChitoPal-C, a chitosan-based product that binds fat and bile acids in the digestive tract so they are harder to absorb and are excreted, helping reduce the amount of cholesterol entering the blood. As a chitosan solution for cholesterol control in pets, ChitoPal-C is intended to support metabolic health without replacing veterinary treatment.

Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops Kito-Sil, a nano chitosan silver complex to control pathogens and reduce antibiotic use

Disease pressure, polluted farming environments and a heavy reliance on antibiotics are creating serious challenges for the livestock and aquaculture sector. Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) has developed Kito-Sil, a nano chitosan silver complex that combines the biological activity of chitosan with the antibacterial power of silver ions to offer a safer, more sustainable option. As a nano chitosan silver complex, Kito-Sil helps control pathogens in the farming environment while reducing dependence on antibiotics.

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.

Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops biological soil improvement solutions to restore degraded farmland

A nation’s growth strategy works best when it builds on core strengths and nurtures the people who will carry it forward. Acting on this belief, Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) welcomed a group of interns from Board IV (the Private Economic Development Research Board) and shared how its research turns shrimp by-products into valuable inputs — a practical model of the circular economy from shrimp by-products. The visit showed young talent that innovation need not start from something grand; it can begin by re-examining the resources already at hand.

Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops shrimp-derived Peptides & Chitosan to support pet gut health

The gut does far more than digest food — it hosts around 70% of the immune system and produces most of the body’s serotonin, the hormone linked to feelings of wellbeing. Drawing on shrimp raw material, Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) has developed a Peptides & Chitosan duo to support pet gut health through three core mechanisms: balancing the microbiome, reinforcing the intestinal barrier, and optimising digestion. The result is a science-based approach to pet nutrition that reaches beyond the gut to immunity, nutrient absorption, and a pet’s overall wellbeing.
