This year, the Bounty Inoza Feeds team was at the forefront of the industry’s most critical discussions, participating in the 38th PHILSAN Annual Convention at the Okada Manila Grand Ballroom.
The event, themed “Innovating for Sustainable Future: Harnessing Technologies and Alternative Solutions for Animal Nutrition and Health,” served as a vital platform for the nation’s feed manufacturers to address pressing global challenges, including the high cost of feed ingredients and the urgent need to reduce the environmental footprint of livestock production.
Leading the Dialogue
Bounty’s commitment to industry leadership was demonstrated by the involvement of Timothy Paolo Bagui, Business Head of Pet Food at Bounty Plus Inc., who also served as the PHILSAN President for 2024-2025. His active role underscores Bounty’s serious dedication to shaping policy and adopting cutting-edge technologies for more sustainable production, even amidst current economic hurdles.
Our participation signals that Bounty—through Inoza Feeds—is not just reacting to global trends but is proactively investing in the research and solutions necessary to maintain efficient, responsible, and high-quality food production for the Philippines.
Key Takeaways: Precision and National Welfare
The convention provided strategic insights that directly align with Bounty’s commitment to operational excellence and food security.
One of the most compelling takeaways, as shared by PHILSAN Member Amelita Gabriel, MSC, centered on the science of advanced feeding:
“We are able to understand the genetics. We are feeding the animals to be efficient through advance software: nutrient optimization & precise nutrition – nutrient balancing. We are not only feeding the animals but the whole country’s welfare, animal & food security.”
This focus on precise nutrition and nutrient balancing is critical. It validates Bounty’s existing use of advanced software and systems within Inoza Feeds to ensure animals receive exactly the right nutrients. This precision leads to:
- Maximum efficiency (less waste and cost).
- Optimal animal health (reduced reliance on antibiotics).
- Superior product quality (better food for Filipino consumers).
Aligned with National Goals
The conference confirmed that the Philippines’ feed industry is moving decisively toward sustainability, strongly supported by the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI). Key areas of focus that Inoza Feeds is actively addressing include:
- Modernization and Resilience: DA is pushing for the modernization of the livestock and poultry sectors to build resilience against climate challenges and supply chain disruptions. Bounty’s continued investment in state-of-the-art facilities and disease control (crucial for sustainability) places us ahead of the curve.
- Alternative Feed Resources: The industry is actively exploring local ingredients, crop byproducts, and food waste alternatives to reduce reliance on costly imported inputs like soybean meal. This innovative research is vital for reducing costs and improving the environmental footprint—a core objective of our R&D team at Inoza Feeds.
By engaging at this high level, the Bounty Inoza Feeds team ensures that our products and practices remain at the forefront of innovation, translating the latest scientific knowledge into sustainable, high-quality nourishment for the nation.
