On a more global scale, UNAHCO has also formed partnerships with companies like Alltech, Akey, DSM, and Novus, all considered to be global leaders and experts in the field of animal research, nutrition, and healthcare.
Through these connections, UNAHCO aims to continue researching on new and adaptable scientific innovations and technological enhancements. In the long run, these studies can lay the foundation for improvements to existing formulations, and development of new and more beneficial products that can boost farms’ efficiency, performance, and profitability.
With its business unit United Agrivet Distribution (UAD), UNAHCO has also cultivated strategic partnerships with various local and foreign companies. This allows UNAHCO’s agricultural products and business solutions to be distributed on a larger scale and benefit many farmers and business owners.

UNAHCO helps facilitate programs that provide learning opportunities for business growth and recovery, particularly against ASF.
Aside from forming lasting partnerships with key industry leaders locally and abroad, UNAHCO has also been trusted by national government units in conceptualizing solutions to address pressing issues.
In January 2021, in an effort to prevent further cases of African swine fever (ASF) which killed more than 400,000 hogs, the Department of Agriculture of the Philippines (DA) partnered with UNAHCO and the Philippine College of Swine Practitioners (PCSP).
Through this partnership, UNAHCO and PCSP will help implement the Bantay ASF program to control and curb the spread of ASF in Luzon, while protecting existing “green zones” in Visayas and Mindanao. UNAHCO was also tasked to help improve the DA’s current database on hog and poultry sub-sectors, and provide farmers higher prices and a ready market for feeds through careful purchases of corn from clustered farms.
The following month, UNAHCO and its other industry partners held a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signing for the DA’s INSPIRE (Integrated National Swine Production Initiatives for Recovery and Expansion), and Bantay ASF sa Barangay (BaBay ASF).
Through this agreement, a technical working group was formed to aid in developing grassroots programs in specific areas, so the private sector can help businesses affected by ASF learn effective control, repopulation, and prevention practices.
In fact, last March 17, 2021, UNAHCO held a one-day demo session for backyard hog raisers in Sta. Rosa, Nueva Ecija as part of this initiative. Farm owners were taught important biosecurity and health techniques that can safeguard their pigs and ensure their businesses remain stable amid the threat of ASF.
After multiple decades in the business, UNAHCO has gained the trust of animal raisers in the Philippines and abroad, thanks to high-quality products that yield maximum profits and business outputs.
