Brief History

UNAHCO traces its origin to Univet Agricultural Products, a small veterinary department established by the Stockholders of United Laboratories, Inc. led by Jose Y. Campos on October 16, 1966.  The name UNIVET was coined from UNIted VETerinary.  Univet’s noble mission then was to provide animal raisers with quality and affordable veterinary products to help feed the growing population.  Because of their superior quality, efficacy and affordability, Univet products such as Vetracin, Jectran, Bexan and Latigo have become bywords in the animal industry.  These products have established loyal users through the years and to this day, have remained trusted brands among animal raisers, veterinary practitioners and endorsers.

Through competent management and hard work put in by seasoned Univet Warriors, Univet grew and gave birth to a new division in 1986 called Sarimanok Feeds Company, Inc.  which manufactured and distributed swine and poultry feeds.   In 1992, SFCI expanded its operations to include the manufacture and distribution of gamefowl feeds under the Thunderbird line.

In 2007, Univet, Sarimanok and Thunderbird were harmonized under one holding company, now known as   UNAHCO, INC.  Through its 54 years of continuous and dedicated service, UNAHCO has earned the trust of Filipino animal raisers and now takes pride in its reputable name as one of the esteemed leaders in the animal health and nutrition industry.  UNAHCO remains steadfast in its commitment to help uplift the animal industry through continuous research and product development efforts to come up with new and innovative products that will help animal raisers and crop farmers run cost efficient and profitable business operations through its different business units.

Currently, UNAHCO has 10 business units that cater to specific animal species and target markets namely: UNIVET (veterinary products, disinfectants), PIGROLAC (swine), THUNDERBIRD/GMP (gamefowl), SARIMANOK (broilers, layers, ducks, quail), UNAHCO CFG (commercial farms),   Doggiessentials  (YumYum Dog Food, vitamins, electrolytes and pet care products), WING MASTER (pigeons),  UNAGRO (organic fertilizers, crop protection products),  UAD or United Agrivet Distribution (Distribution Arm) and UNAHCO International (export business).
