- WooGene B&G Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based biotechnology and animal healthcare company that specializes in the research, development, manufacture, and commercialization of veterinary pharmaceuticals, animal biologicals, functional feed additives, companion animal nutrition, and eco-friendly microbial solutions. Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company operates manufacturing and research facilities in Hwaseong and an advanced EU-GMP standard automated animal vaccine facility in Yesan. WooGene B&G operates through specialized business divisions offering an extensive commercial portfolio, which includes veterinary pharmaceuticals such as injectable antibiotics, anti-inflammatory therapeutics, anthelmintics, and water-soluble powders; veterinary biologicals and vaccines including the PED-M vaccine for Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea, the Immunis MegaVac series for aquatic iridovirus infections, lumpy skin disease vaccines, and autogenous herd-specific formulations; functional feed additives and probiotics consisting of microbial fermentation extracts, digestive enzyme complexes, and immune-enhancing feed supplements for swine, poultry, bovine, and aquaculture species; pet care products comprising premium organic and grain-free pet food through dedicated operating units, canine-derived postbiotic formulations, and Dr. Tummy brand nutritional supplements; and environmental bio-agents comprising biological odor removers, organic microbial fertilizers, and industrial wastewater treatment agents. The company distributes its products domestically and internationally across more than 25 countries throughout Southeast Asia, East Asia, and the Middle East, including Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates. In recent developments, WooGene B&G has expanded its commercial and strategic footprint through key supply contracts, including an export agreement with Vietnam's CP Group for specialized veterinary therapeutics, a multi-year supply agreement with South Korea's Public Procurement Service for supplementary feed products, and vaccine supply allocations for government lumpy skin disease prevention initiatives. To accelerate growth in the companion animal segment, the company completed a strategic equity investment in pet food manufacturer Bow Wow Korea and secured patents for antimicrobial postbiotic manufacturing technologies derived from canine probiotics. Additionally, WooGene B&G executed a five-to-one share consolidation in early 2026 to optimize its public share structure and enhance capital efficiency, alongside executive governance realignments and increased insider equity acquisitions.
