In July 2026, UniVOOK Industry and Zhongben Intelligent announced an in-depth strategic partnership, formally signing an investment and cooperation agreement in Changsha. The two companies jointly established a joint venture —

– Changsha NutriSeek Technology Co., Ltd. –

This partnership marks a new stage in which the two companies have entered a phase of resource sharing and mutual expansion across technical services and biological product development in the feed and animal nutrition sector. The joint venture will be dedicated to building a globally unified & standardized technology and service platform for feed nutritional value evaluation, centering on three core innovative technology systems: In Vitro Simulated Digestion Technology, Closed-circuit Respiratory Calorimetry Technology, and Intelligent Growth Sensing Technology. To drive the upgrading and innovation of industry standards through science and technology, serving users worldwide.

The In Vitro Automatic Simulated Digestion System (SDS) and its reagent kits, the Closed-circuit Respiration Calorimetry System (CRS), and the Intelligent Growth Sensing System (IGS) were jointly developed by the Institute of Animal Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (IAS-CAAS) and Zhongben Intelligent. They represent a series of globally leading original technologies and products with independent intellectual property rights, created around the three stages of digestion, metabolism and growth in the field of feed nutritional value evaluation and utilization. Leveraging its overseas marketing network and professional global supply chain capabilities, UniVOOK Industry is designated as the exclusive overseas distributor and has made these products and technologies successfully enter major global markets including the United States, European Union, Southeast Asia, India and Brazil, etc.

The establishment of the joint venture NutriSeek marks the deep integration of the professional strengths of UniVOOK Industry and Zhongben Intelligent in their respective fields. Together, the two companies will accelerate the building of a globally unified animal nutrition service platform:

• Establish standardized, globally unified techniques for determining the effective energy values of feeds and feed ingredients;
• Establish standardized, globally unified techniques for determining amino acid/protein digestibility;
• Establish standardized, globally unified techniques for determining available phosphorus content;
• Develop and produce digestive enzyme reagents and kits for the monogastric animal simulated digestion system;
• Develop and produce feed enzyme products based on the SDS, CRS and IGS technology platforms;
• Continuously develop and promote technologies related to animal nutrition digestion, metabolism and growth based on the SDS, CRS and IGS platforms, building an international one-stop technology service platform.

Looking Ahead，

NutriSeek to Set the Industry Benchmark in Feed Nutritional Value Evaluation and Utilization on the Wings of Technology

Drawing on three frontier technology platforms, SDS, CRS and IGS, NutriSeek is committed to becoming a globally leading service provider of feed nutritional value evaluation and utilization. Guided by the vision of establishing the “gold standard” in global feed nutritional value evaluation services, NutriSeek will successively roll out a series of standardized technical services and innovative products. These services and products will deeply complement and seamlessly integrate with Zhongben Intelligent’s software & hardware equipment and UniVOOK Industry’s standardized solutions, generating powerful synergies. This strategic layout not only lays a solid service foundation for the global promotion of simulated digestion technology, respiration calorimetry technology and intelligent growth sensing technology, but also signals the emergence of a complete ecosystem covering the entire “digestion–metabolism–growth” chain. Seizing this opportunity, we will drive the industry toward greater precision, efficiency and intelligence.
