It also imports various types of piggery and poultry equipment from Taiwan to cater to the local market.

Chiu-Nichi Agro Resources has some 50-60 products aggregate. The wide variety of products can be subdivided into the following categories: feed additive, complete feeds, vitamin and mineral premix and disinfectants. Chiu-Nichi Agro also introduced new piglet and breeder concentrates to complete their line of feed concentrates in 1994. Starting 1995 till now, it has also been manufacturing extruded (cooked) yellow corn and full-fat soya using 4 extruders of ½ ton capacity per hour. These two raw materials are mostly sold to hog raisers and feedmills who incorporate them into piglet and sow feed formulations.

For seven years already, Chiu-Nichi Agro Resources is also the exclusive distributor of skim milk and sow milk replacers from Denkavit, Holland, one of the largest skim milk replacer manufacturers. It is also the sole importer and distributor of Biosentry disinfectants from Atlanta, Geor-gia.

Starting 2005, Chiu-Nichi Agro modernized its existing feed mill plant and added a new line of pelletizing machine from Taiwan to produce piglet pelletized feeds, namely Denkapig Piggy Booster Mini-Pellets and Denkapig Pre-Starter Pellets. It is a technological tie-up between Chiu- Nichi Agro and Denkavit, Holland where almost 50% of the raw materials used in the finished product and formulation comes from the Netherlands. As of July 2006, the current volume of feeds being produced by the feed mill is estimated at 300 tons monthly already. New marketing technicians and salesmen have been hired to further boost the sales of the piglet feeds in the whole of Luzon and to give seminar to the backyard raisers.
