According to Mr. Nguyen Duc Phuong, in 2021, Vietnam must import nearly 700.000 tons of supplementary feed, with a value of more than 1 billion USD.   we do not have production technology to produce vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and additives. Therefore we currently rely heavily on China, India, Europe and America.

“Based on this fact, TVONE Vietnam Joint Stock Company has an aspiration towards providing the best solutions antibiotic- and chemical-free agriculture, organic agriculture, and self-reliance in technology to  for the livestock and aquaculture in Vietnam and the region, with the mission of "Bringing natural solutions to farmers, safety to the community."

TVOne Vietnam is proud to be a pioneer in the production of localized feed additives from plant extracts with over 95% from domestic herbal ingredients such as Bao ginseng, Duong Quy ginseng, artichokes, beets, nettles, dandelions, water lilies, squid grass, and more than 20 kinds of essential oils ...) in Vietnam  We have cooperated and planned planting areas, closely monitored according to VietGAP standards. This activity helps farmers to solve the problem of output for the farmers, utilize the land fallow and help them have more income and better quality of life.

Especially, with a professional process from 100% of modern machinery and equipment imported from Europe, TVOne Vietnam confidently asserts its brand in the market. TVOne owns the first specially advanced and most modern factory in Vietnam and the region, using plant extraction technology with single active ingredients of feed additives to replace antibiotics. and increase productivity in livestock with the highest standards, serving domestic and foreign feed mills and farms.

 “Besides the advantage of domestic raw materials and a particularly advanced production system, TVOne Vietnam has cooperated with research institutes, a team of experts, domestic and foreign consultants to find the right active ingredients and bring the high efficiency", Mr. Nguyen Duc Phuong emphasized.

Mr. Duong Tat Thang - Director of the Department of Livestock Production spoke at the seminar

According to Mr. Duong Tat Thang, Director of the Department of Livestock Production, our country currently has about 225 production facilities for dietary supplements (additives). Although the proportion of supplementary feed is not large in industrial feed, it plays a role in quality.  2022 comes with many uncertainties of the war situation in Ukraine, the prices of animal feed ingredients such as wheat, corn, soybeans, etc. have skyrocketed. Therefore, it is urgent to research new products to increase livestock productivity, increase competitiveness, and reduce dependence on external raw materials to ensure food safety and develop livestock for international integration. .

Mr. Duong Tat Thang also added that the Law on Animal Husbandry stipulates that until December 31, 2025 the use of antibiotics is completely banned for disease prevention. Before that, the use of growth-stimulating antibiotics was banned. As the result, the study of antibiotic alternatives in livestock has an critical role.

"Therefore, I am very pleased to be present at TVOne Company's breakthrough plant-based additive solution announcement seminar. This is a direction in line with the industry's strategy, production practices, and the requirements of the Law on Livestock and the Government's decree. The study of herbal products as feed additives is not only an important direction to create livelihoods for farmers growing medicinal plants but also helps them increase the added value of livestock products.

"Hopefully more and more Vietnamese businesses will invest, research and create good products and processes to develop an sustainable livestock industry with more added value “ said Mr. Duong Tat Thang.

Prof. In Ho Ki, Dankook University, South Korea

Next, Prof. Dr. In Ho Ki, Dankook University, South Korea ran the first presentation about "Analyzing the potential effects of Bao ginseng in the production of feed additives". He claimed that “Ginseng is not only good for humans but also good for animals.”  Prof. Kim and his colleagues' experiments showed that the cholesterol and triglycerides content in serum of layers chickens deceased in the group have ginseng supplementations. Egg yield increased at 27 weeks (resulting from ginseng's immunostimulating, hepatoprotective and antioxidant activities). Using ginseng with a dose of 0.1% ginseng can improve the performance of broiler chickens.

The addition of ginseng to the pig feed showed a significant improvement of feed digestibility, with less nutrients required for growth but significantly improved meat quality, reducing drip loss and increased longissimus muscle area.
