High quality nutrition and special breeding to maintain high density aquaculture
The narrow and densely populated land area in Taiwan is very limited, as owning land or a building could cost a fortune. Starting aquaculture in Taiwan could have lots of obstacles, creating high-density aquaculture could lead to cross-contamination disease between fish and shrimp, and using chemical agents to treat shrimp and fish could also lead to water pollution and increase the death rate of the shoal, forming a vicious cycle.
Over the years, BiomiXin Co., Ltd, cooperate with academic and research institutions to successfully develop fish and shrimp nutrition products and became a leading brand in China. “AQUAID” can reduce ammonia and nitrite level in the water, enhance feed efficiency, optimize intestinal microbiota, and others. On the other hand, “EHPurge” helps to maintain shrimp’s liver and pancreas, reduce white spots and unevenness on shrimps, and improve growth speed and weight gain.
In addition to maintaining high-density aquaculture, breeding artificial fish became an option. Longdian Marine Biotechnology is the first agricultural genomics application service company in Taiwan. It integrates big data and gene databases, develops relevant detection technologies, implements the application of research and development results in important economic species, and focuses on Taiwan porgy and grouper in aquaculture. Longdian has created the famous artificial breeds of grouper. Among the ten artificially bred grouper species worldwide, eight were successfully developed by Longdian, later many high-value fish were successfully bred, saving various grouper populations from the brink of extinction. Moreover, it has also created an annual production value of billions of dollars in the grouper aquaculture industry in Taiwan, mainland China, and Southeast Asia. The honor of this "Taiwan Light" comes from being able to cultivate and optimize grouper seed fish, using scientific methods to screen seed fish, establishing a real-name identification system for seed fish, and establishing advantageous species to produce new types of species.

As a result, the shift of land-based aquaculture to offshore cage net farming, creating "ocean ranching," has become a trend. This allows for the consumption of saltwater fish without the need for ocean fishing, while land can be repurposed for other uses. It saves freshwater resources, reduces carbon footprints and damage caused by disasters, and promotes a friendly farming environment that minimizes the impact of aquaculture on the environment, ultimately achieving sustainable operation.
Traditional agricultural machinery, mostly powered by diesel, is one of the primary sources of carbon emissions in agriculture. To respond to the call for net-zero emissions, countries are encouraging farmers to use electric agricultural machinery that reduces carbon emissions. Electric agricultural machinery also offers advantages such as low noise, low vibration, low waste heat, and easy startup. If they can be charged with renewable energy sources like solar power or wind power, it further enhances energy savings and carbon reduction efforts.
Animals raised without antibiotics rely on alternative health supplements like herbal medicines, probiotics, enzymes, or plant-based additives for robust health. This approach promotes a healthy digestive system, resulting in fewer cases of diarrhea, reduced fecal and urine odor, and less environmental pollution. By avoiding antibiotic use, the development of antimicrobial resistance in microorganisms is prevented, preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics. It also ensures food safety by eliminating the risk of drug residues.
Automated cutting equipment is common in modern meat processing plants for meat portioning, but detailed cutting still relies on manual hand-cutting. Knives play a crucial role in this process, significantly impacting efficiency and quality. Choosing the right knives reduces manual cutting time and effort, minimizes hand injuries, improves work efficiency, and ensures the preservation of high-quality meat with its market value intact.
Raising healthy animals for delicious meals is a challenging task that requires careful attention. In traditional animal farming, it becomes necessary to supplement animal feed with nutrients to bolster their immune systems, minimize the risk of illnesses and mortality, and enhance productivity and growth rates. This, in turn, increases overall production efficiency. In the event of animals falling ill, timely administration of medication can aid in their recovery. Alternatively, the utilization of natural herbal remedies can eliminate the residues associated with conventional chemical drugs, thereby safeguarding human food safety.
