Long-term partnerships in agriculture are built on consistency, trust, and a shared focus on improvement.
For more than two decades, Gold Coin, an Aboitiz Foods company, has worked alongside Malaysia-based SLK Farm as the poultry producer expanded its operations and strengthened farm performance.
Led by second-generation brothers Ling Yoke Kooi and Ling Yoke Hua, SLK Farm now operates 20 farm locations with a combined capacity of approximately two million chickens. As the business grew, the brothers continued to focus on the fundamentals that influence performance: flock health, feed efficiency, operational consistency, and profitability.
That meant continuously improving farm management.
SLK Farm transitioned from traditional open-house systems to modern closed-house facilities, giving the team greater control over temperature, ventilation, and flock conditions. Automated feeding systems were also introduced to reduce feed wastage and improve feeding consistency across locations.
Nutrition became another important part of that approach.
Over the years, SLK Farm has worked with Gold Coin Malaysia to refine a feeding strategy based on actual farm performance. Gold Coin Broiler Grower is incorporated into the farm’s production cycle alongside its closed-house systems, automation, and management practices.
Together, these improvements have helped SLK Farm achieve a feed conversion ratio of 1.36.
“We are growing with Gold Coin’s quality feed,” said Ling Yoke Hua.
For the brothers, feed decisions are not based on price alone. Product quality, bird performance, dependable supply, and consistency across multiple farm locations are also important considerations.
The partnership reflects Gold Coin’s approach to working with customers: understanding how their businesses operate and supporting continuous improvement over time.
As part of Aboitiz Foods, Gold Coin contributes animal nutrition expertise across Asia, working alongside livestock producers to improve productivity and strengthen the food value chain.
